Last week the Ministry of Justice ordered post mortem examinations on the remains of John Tubman, Maude Elliot, and William R. Tolbert, III – who were all discovered dead in their homes – as part of a full-scale investigation.

John Tubman and William R. Tolbert III are sons of two of Liberia’s former Presidents William V.S Tubman and William R. Tolbert. Tolbert then Vice President to Tubman succeeded the latter following his death in 1971.

“The public is assured that the Joint Security is working around the clock to solve three (3) recent murder cases in Monrovia and provide enhanced security to the public,” the statement said.

Meanwhile, the Government deplores the unwarranted politicization of the death of these individuals, describing it as insensitive to the families of the deceased The Government emphasizes that it takes seriously the death of any Liberian and is therefore leaving no stone unturned in getting to the bottom of the matter.
