The Sierra Leone Police (SLP) Eastern Region has handed over murder suspect Augustine Tamba Lendeh, alias “T-Boy,” to Liberian authorities following his arrest in Kenema on Monday, August 3, 2026.
Lendeh was arrested based on intelligence linking him to the alleged murder of his 19-year-old girlfriend, Dearest Paye, in Monrovia, Liberia. Preliminary investigations indicate that the incident occurred during a domestic dispute, after which Lendeh reportedly crossed into Sierra Leone.
The handover, conducted on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, was facilitated through collaboration between Sierra Leone and Liberian law enforcement authorities in line with established cross-border security procedures.
Speaking during the ceremony, ACP Joe Kamanda Bongay, Regional Police Commander East, welcomed the Liberian delegation on behalf of the Inspector General of Police and reaffirmed the SLP’s commitment to strengthening regional cooperation in the fight against transnational crime.
Superintendent Cary G. Karzon, Team Leader of the Liberia National Police National Central Bureau (NCB) in Monrovia, thanked the Sierra Leone Police for its swift response and professionalism, noting that the successful transfer demonstrates the strong security partnership between the two countries.
