After surviving 2022 shootout, Linden vendor shot dead
Police in Regional Division 10 are investigating the murder of 56-year-old Nigel Somersall, a food stall owner from West Watooka and Wismar Housing Scheme in Linden, who had previously survived a shooting incident.
According to reports, Somersall was found dead on Monday at about 05:00h by his cousin, who discovered him lying motionless next to his motorcycle on the side of the road. Investigations reveal that around 03:54h, residents heard the sound of a motorcycle approaching Somersall’s home on West Watooka Hill Top, followed by what sounded like several gunshots. Shortly after, witnesses reported hearing a loud noise, presumably from the motorcycle hitting the ground.
Police were however called to the scene at about 05:30h but have not released additional information regarding suspect/s or potential motive.
