Those arrested in connection to the death of John Tubman are Christian B. Anderson and Aloysius Garpleh in River Cess County. Police say suspect Anderson allegedly admitted to the commission of the crime, adding that he did so on personal grounds.
Addressing a press conference at the Police Headquarters in Monrovia Tuesday, 16 November 2021, Police Inspector General Col. Patrick T. Sudue told journalists that police investigation has revealed that the arrested suspects are linked to the death of the late John Tubman.
He said in recent days, the country sadly lost three of its citizens in persons of John Tubman, William R. Tolbert, another son of a former Liberian President, and Madam Maude Elliot. He said all of these victims were found lying unconscious at their respective homes.
Col. Sudue explained that investigators swiftly moved in and conducted examinations on the bodies of the deceased victims and established that they were murdered.
