“The Liberia National police has begun investigation into the death of two citizens, Albert K. Peter and Gifty A. Lamah who were discovered in a parked vehicle on Snipper Hill, Broad Street,” he says.
The death of the duo has left the country in shock, as many are wondering what may be responsible for the incident. Reports say Mr. Peters served as an Internal Auditor at LRA while Mrs. Lama was a Research Analyst.
According to Carter, the victims’ corpses have been deposited at the St. Moses Funeral Home for preservation, and urges the public to remain calm as the LNP investigates the matter in establishing the cause of death.
“Our preliminary investigation established that the two deceased victims are employees of the Liberia Revenue Authority,” Mr. Carter says. Mrs. Peters, a branch manager at the Liberia Bank for Development and Investment (LBDI) has insisted that when she last spoke with her husband, he had informed her that he was going to meet someone around the UBA.
