Liberia: In Margibi Massacre: More Suspects Arrested
Reports from the Central Liberian County of Gbarnga, suggest that police assigned in the
county have arrested three more suspects in connection with the recent Margibi County
massacre.
Police authorities in the county yesterday confirmed to this paper that the three suspects were
rounded up in Gbarnga following a tip-off.
Although police sources declined to give the names of those arrested, but the latest arrest
brings to nineteen those arrested in connection to the incident thus far.
Reports gathered by our reporter, who was in Kakata, Margibi County on Monday to follow up in
lieu of the case suggest that the three suspects arrested in Gbarnga would be transferred
today to the Kakata Magistrate County, where his Honor, Magistrate, Peter M. Howard would be
presiding.
Before their arrest, police authorities in Margibi County, announced that some suspects wanted
in connection to the incident, were on the run.
The latest arrest Monday of the three suspects, confirmed police earlier assertions that indeed
some of those wanted in connection to the incident are on the run. About eighteen persons
according to sources are still on the run.
Recently, news surfaced from Kakata, Margibi County revealed the brutal killing of over 14
persons, who were allegedly massacred and dumped in the Farmington River bordering Margibi
and Grand Bassa County.
The report said the victims were allegedly murdered as a result of a land dispute between the
Junior Senator of the county, Roland Kaine and Commerce Ministry official Charles Bennie.
They were reportedly killed when Mr. Bennie took them to the disputed land to brush his farm.
Both men were cited by the police to give preliminary statements in the incident, but following
days of investigation, the police charged Senator Kaine and others alleged to be his
collaborators with murder. Mr. Bennie was later released to his lawyer but the Ministry of Justice
said he could be cited anytime should the need arises.
