The family of the late CharloeMusu has decried the refusal by the Government of Liberia to release the Coroner’s examination report on the remains of their daughter.
The family, in a release issued Sunday, April 2, 2023, said in the wake of strange discoveries on the body of their daughter during the conduct of the recent autopsy, they are suspicious of the government’s refusal to release the Coroner’s report or share a copy with them since February 27, 2023.
They said on Tuesday March 21, 2023, based on their request which was granted by the Ministry of Justice with prohibition on photographing, the Musu Family viewed the front part of body of the late CharloeMusu at the St. Moses Funeral Parlor along with members of the press/media and civil society before the conduct of the autopsy, but the pathologist refused to allow them view the back side of the body.
However, during the conduct of the autopsy, the pathologist turned the body around, at which time it was discovered that her under pants (backings) were removed and part of her hair extracted from her head, amid the political conspiracy theory by the ruling CDC that Cllr. Scott her daughter for ritual purposes.
These discoveries were made after the pathologist, Dr. Kolee said that the report of the autopsy would have been released in two weeks plus or minus, because of the toxicology examination which would be done from a reference lab out of Liberia, and that the autopsy conducted by him is scientific and the result will be the same even if done by other practitioners (pathologists) subsequently.
The family wondered why is the government hiding the Coroner’s examination report for more than a month since the examination (February 27, 2923), but immediately following the conduct of the autopsy on Tuesday March 21, 2023, the Police released preliminary report of the autopsy in which they said that the cause of death was “severe bleeding or loss of blood as a result of multiple stabbing.
The refusal by the government to release the Coroner’s report, or share a copy with the family, leaves enough grounds to believe that the physical examination conducted by the Coroner of Montserrado County on the body did not find the extraction of her hair and other strange things the family noticed during the conduct of the autopsy.
