In that situation,\nthe victim was allegedly subjected to a mob attack or assault by\nresidents, sustaining serious injuries, particularly to the head. The\nvictim received treatment at a health facility before being referred to\nKabanjahe General Hospital. However, in the early hours of Sunday, 31\nMay, the victim was pronounced dead. Suspecting foul play in the\nvictim\u2019s death, the family reported the incident to the Tigabinanga\nPolice.

From this series of investigations,\nofficers identified the involvement of suspect EVSD.
