Police Charge Abdul Kpaka with the Murder of Sia Fatmata Kamara

The Sierra Leone Police have formally charged Abdul Kpaka with the murder of Sia Fatmata Kamara, a case that has sparked widespread public outrage.

Kpaka is scheduled to make his first court appearance tomorrow, 28th August 2024, in Freetown.

The circumstances surrounding Sia’s death have drawn significant attention, particularly after a postmortem examination revealed that she had suffered severe injuries, including broken ribs and a damaged spinal cord.

These findings have intensified calls from human rights organizations and the general public for a thorough and expedited investigation, as well as a swift judicial process.

In the wake of the tragedy, Sia’s family and friends are preparing to say their final goodbyes. Her funeral is scheduled for Sunday, 1st September 2024, at the Charles Davies Memorial United Methodist Church in Lumley.

Prior to the funeral, a memorial service will be held on Friday, 30th August, at the Freetown City Council Auditorium, where mourners will have the opportunity to pay their respects.

As the legal process begins, the case continues to be closely monitored by those seeking justice for Sia Fatmata Kamara. The public and advocacy groups alike are eager to see accountability in what has become a deeply troubling and high-profile case.
