So, they are also suspects. Although one of them claimed to be injured during the incident, there may be more to it than meets the eye.”
The Deputy Police Public Relations Officer, Lelma Kolle, confirmed the incident.
He added that the Bariga Divisional Police Officer led his men to the scene where they found the deceased in a pool of blood.
He said, “Investigations revealed that the man parked his car a distance away from where he was drinking. The police also discovered that there was a blood stain on the car and the car key was found within the vicinity, also with blood stains. This can only mean that after they killed him, they attempted to go away with his car. They actually succeeded in opening the car because there were blood stains on the car seat. But the car did not move because of the security system in it.
The owner of the bar has been arrested and he has made statements. We cannot categorically say whether this was a robbery or an assassination plot. The matter is still under investigation.
