MONROVIA – The Director of Press and Public Affairs of the Liberia National Police H. Moses Carter, Sr says the Liberia National Police has begun an investigation into the incident that took place at the Brewerville home of former Chief Justice Gloria Musu Scott on Wednesday night, leading to the death of one of her children.
Carter said Madam Scott, who is now under appropriate police protection, reported some days ago in a radio interview that her family had experienced several attempts from suspected burglars to enter her home at night. This report led to an increase in police patrol in the area.
The police spokesman made the statement Thursday, February 23, 2023, at the Ministry of Information Culture Affairs and Tourism Regular Press Conference on Capitol Hill, in Monrovia.
According to him, preliminary findings from the Wednesday night incident which occurred about 9:30 pm, as narrated by Madam Scott, revealed that a man who was part of a crew she hired to carry out some construction work at her residence remained hidden inside at the end of the work day, while his colleagues had retired for the day.
Mr. Carter said the man, who former Chief Justice Scott said she had observed during the day as looking somewhat “strange”, attacked her family at night and killed one of her daughters when he was tackled.
The police spokesman emphasized that the preliminary investigation shows no evidence of a break-in.
Mr. Carter noted that the police are currently in search of the suspected robbers and urge the public to come forth with any information that will aid its investigation.
