3 suspects detained as Police probe murder of food vendor

Dead: Nigel Somersall

Three men are now in police custody as investigations continue into the death of Nigel Somersall, a 56-year-old food vendor from Wismar Linden who was found dead early Monday morning.
On Mondy afternoon, a 55-year-old contractor turned himself in at the Wismar Police Station, accompanied by his lawyer. Reports are that his decision to surrender follows the earlier arrest of two other men, 22-year-old construction worker and miner, and 19-year-old pork-knocker.
Both men, also from Wismar, were detained shortly before 13:00h for questioning in connection with Somersall’s death.
According to police, early Monday morning, Somersall’s cousin found him lying motionless next to his motorcycle on the roadside near his home in West Watooka. According reports, residents heard a motorcycle approaching the area around 03:54h., followed by a burst of gunfire. Moments later, there was a loud crash believed to be the sound of Somersall’s motorcycle hitting the ground.
Police arrived at the scene just after 5:30h. While authorities have not yet commented on the suspected motive, they have acknowledged that Somersall, who operated a popular food stall in Wismar, had survived a previous shooting in 2022.
