The deceased, identified as Reuben Andrews, a 63-year-old Gambian and retired banker, was found motionless and tied with a rope in his bedroom following a report by his wife.
Preliminary investigations established evidence of forced entry and theft of valuables, including laptops, phones, and cash amounting to $7,000, £2,000, and between D9,000–D10,000.
A ladder and a cutlass were recovered at the scene. Upon close scrutiny, a footage confirmed the presence of the watchman and maid earlier that day. The duo are currently at large and believed to be on the run. Facts further established that both are Sierra Leonean nationals.
Crime Scene Investigators were at the scene to gather forensic evidence to support the ongoing investigation.
The victim was evacuated to Ndemban Clinic, where he was confirmed dead before being transferred to the EFSTH Mortuary for further examination.
Investigations are ongoing, and the public is urged to report any information that may be helpful to the nearest police station or call 9968885.
