A tragic incident has shaken the Kono District as a young man by the name of Osman Alie was found dead in a bush under mysterious circumstances.

The discovery was made on Thursday, October 31, 2024, after a search party combed through the area for two days.

The deceased, reportedly the son of a deputy sector chief, was last seen alive on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, when he left his home to check on the family’s garden.

According to sources, the deceased informed his father late in the afternoon, between 4 and 5 o’clock, that he was heading to the family garden.

However, the garden had been at the center of a dispute involving other individuals, and all activities in the area had been suspended as a result. It is believed that the young man went to the garden to ensure that no one was violating the ban on activities.

When he failed to return home that evening, his family grew concerned. A search party was organized, and the community spent the night combing the surrounding area, but there was no sign of him.

The search continued into Wednesday, with the youth of the village joining the effort. Early Thursday morning, the tragic discovery of the young man’s body was made in the bush, prompting immediate involvement from the police.

Initial investigations by the police indicate that the young man may have been shot, as a gunshot wound was found on his chest. The news has sent shockwaves through the community, sparking fear and uncertainty among residents who are now on edge.

As investigations continue, the police have yet to determine the exact circumstances of the shooting, or identify suspects. The tragic death of the young man has left the community reeling, and authorities are urging residents to remain calm while the investigation unfolds.

Further updates are expected as the police probe into the case continues, and the community awaits answers in the wake of this deeply unsettling event.
