This publication was told that the woman was arrested after she was identified as being a part of the vigilante group and after blood was found in her yard. However the woman was released yesterday. Further two more persons were detained yesterday to assist with investigation. Meanwhile, the police are asking persons with information on the incident to come forward as all information will be treated with strict confidence.
On Wednesday morning, most of the country was shocked as images of a naked dead man tied to a utility pole began circulating. The man, Nigel Roy Lowe, a mason of Joe Singh Drive, Sophia was accused of stealing and subsequently severely beaten to death in ‘B’ Field Sophia.
This publication was told that Lowe had emerged from a latrine in a yard which is occupied by his mother’s tenants. An occupant of the house raised an alarm after shouting for thief. Reports are that a large crowd converged and attacked Lowe over in ‘A’ Field Sophia. Sources say Lowe was then tied and dragged over to ‘B’ Field Sophia where he was tied to a utility pole and left to die. A heap of wood was packed over the man’s body.
