Home News Police probing murder of Baramita man
Ranks in Region One (Barima-Waini) have launched an investigation into the murder of Dellon Alanzo of Moran Area, Baramita, North West District (NWD).
Police said the murder was committed by a male of the same community on Monday about 23:55h at Mona Area.
“The circumstances surrounding how the incident occurred are unknown,” the statement read, noting that investigations are ongoing.
Just recently, a miner was brutally murdered while protecting his reputed wife from a gang of men at White Water Backdam, NWD.
The dead man was identified as 26-year-old Kevin Allam of Tune Basin, Port Kaituma, NWD.
Based on information received, about 17:30h on the day in question, the dead man’s reputed wife was at their shop when the three suspects approached her and held onto her hair.
Allam went to her assistance, but he was also attacked and dealt several lashes about his body with a piece of wood.
Following the incident, the man fell unconscious, and the three men dragged him a short distance from the shop where one of them whipped out a knife and slit his throat.
After committing the act, the men reportedly left Allam in a pool of blood and returned to the shop where they relieved his spouse of a quantity of raw gold.
After the men left, the Police were contacted and upon arriving at the scene, they saw the motionless body of the miner.
Some days later, Police, acting on information received, travelled to the waterfront area where they arrested the three suspects.
