Fresh details have emerged in the alleged tragic killing of 16-year-old Isatu Aminata Kamara an SSS 2 pupil, whose body was discovered in a bush near Komrabai Village
According to Crime Officer Inspector Bangali Bangura during a Radio Program on Advocacy Radio, Aminata’s parents, Mr. Kapri Kamara and Aminata Bangura, recounted that the deceased had been involved in a secret relationship with a young man known as Ofolla. Concerns began to grow in January this year when her mother noticed a decline in her daughter’s health, and suspecting pregnancy. When questioned, Isatu reportedly struggled to give clear answers.
The situation escalated when she was taken to a pharmacist at Gberay Junction, who confirmed that she was pregnant and had already undergone attempts to terminate it. Upon further questioning, Isatu identified Ofolla as responsible for the pregnancy.
This revelation triggered tensions between both families, leading to confrontations that reportedly turned violent. During one such incident, Isatu was allegedly beaten by Ofolla, prompting her to report the matter to the police at Gberay Junction. Although Ofolla was briefly arrested, the matter was later handled by community members for a peaceful settlement.
However, during this process, serious threats were allegedly made against the deceased. Ofolla and his sister were reported to have issued threatening remarks, with claims that Ofolla had earlier warned Isatu he would kill her if news of the pregnancy become public.
On Sunday, March 31, Isatu reportedly left home in the afternoon, telling her family she was going to Gberay Junction to buy food items. That was the last time she was seen alive.
Her disappearance for some days sparked concern until Tuesday, when her lifeless body was discovered in a nearby bush in Komrabai Village. The discovery sent shockwaves through the community.
Police officers from the Port Loko Division, led by Crime Officer Inspector Bangalie Bangura, responded swiftly to the scene after receiving reports of a suspected murder. The body was identified and transported to the Port Loko Government Hospital for preliminary examination. Plans were made to transfer the remains to Connaught Hospital in Freetown for a postmortem, but decomposition had already begun, complicating the process.
At the request of the family, the body was released for burial. However, police have since initiated procedures for possible exhumation to allow for a more detailed forensic examination by medical experts from Freetown.
Meanwhile, the main suspects—Ofolla and his sister—are currently on the run. Two other individuals, Santigie Kamara (a bike rider) and Abubakarr Bundu (a carpenter), both residents of Gberay Junction, were arrested in connection with the case but they have denied any involvement.
The Sierra Leone Police have confirmed that a full murder investigation is ongoing. Authorities say they are committed to uncovering the truth and ensuring that those responsible are brought to justice.
