Mysterious Death In Clara Town

By Kingston S. Kolleh
The lifeless body of a man identified as Siafa Goblah was discovered yesterday morning in a fence where his boss, the manager of the Africa Real Estate Development (ARED), resides in the Clara Town Community.
Circumstances leading to his death remains a mystery as what believed to be Goblah’s blood stain was discovered dried up on the scene where the body was allegedly lying with a trouser, shirt and a razor blade and nobody could give any account of the incident.
Some believed that he could have fallen from the upper part of the apartment building where his boss resides but blood stain was not visible in the entire area except the place where his body was reportedly discovered while the assigned security who reported to work on the morning of the incident were prevented from into the building.
The deceased who is believed to be above 30 years of age was a resident of the Brewerville community and has been working as a driver for the ARED for over 25 years. He had been sleeping in building that is housing the apartment of his boss’ (whose name was not disclosed) on an agreement that he (Goblah) residence was far away from the job site and this has been going on for a long period.
A sister of the deceased, Kula White, said when she arrived on the scene yesterday morning following the news, she saw her brother’s body lying with many piercing marks on his head, neck and other parts. She also revealed that she noticed that he wore a black jacket but later at crime scene, the clothes she saw after he was taken away was different.
Reports from that vicinity say that this is the third time workers of the company have been murdered mysteriously after working for the company for a long time; while other residents believe that he might have been pressing for his retirement which could be a huge package.
The wife of the late Siafa, Musu Goblah, disclosed that they have three children who are still in primary school and in her state of confusion, she said the future of her children is doomed because she does not know how they are going to continue their education.
She then appealed to the government to carry out a thorough investigation to unearth the truth. However, when journalists, out of curiosity, entered the hallway to the apartment of the manager of ARED, blood stains were spotted on the tiles as well which made others to speculate that the act could have been carried out from upstairs before dumping the lifeless body on the ground.
Journalists exerted effort aimed at getting the side of the ARED’s boss but that did not materialize because the Liberia National Police (LNP) who were protecting him in his apartment later informed journalists who were in wait to have a word from him till evening hours to vacate the premises, as a mandate from their headquarters.
As usual, tension was again sparked among the residents of the community as they setup a road block in demand of justice and requested that the body be brought out of building thereby paralyzing normal activates in the Clara Town Community but the police later stormed the scene and fired tear gas thus disbursing the angry residents who were predominantly youths who also threw stones at the police in an effort to retaliate.
