The Tragic Death of Morris Gomo
In a heartbreaking turn of events, the life of Morris Gomo, a 61-year-old employee of the Cocopa Rubber Plantation, came to a sudden and tragic end. Gomo, who worked as a mechanic at the plantation, was found hanging dead in the custody of the Cocopa Magisterial Court in Nimba County. The news of his untimely death has sent shockwaves through the community, leaving many in disbelief.
Discovery of the Tragedy
The incident came to light when a counselor named John Miah alerted the police after discovering Gomo hanging with a blue rope around his neck inside the holding cell. The sight was a harrowing one, and it prompted immediate action from law enforcement officers of the Liberia National Police (LNP), who were dispatched to the scene to investigate.
Investigation and Suspicions
A preliminary inquiry conducted by a jury panel revealed that foul play was suspected in Gomo’s death, with the cause being ruled as hanging. This finding led to an intensive investigation by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the LNP to uncover the details surrounding the tragic incident. Magistrate Otoe G. Synyenlentu, a respected figure at the Cocopa Magisterial Court, voluntarily presented himself for questioning in connection with the case.
The Allegations and Legal Recourse
It was revealed that Gomo had been detained temporarily by Magistrate Synyenlentu in response to a complaint filed by the victim’s girlfriend, Serena Domah. Domah, a resident of Cocopa, accused Gomo of persistent non-support, claiming that he had failed to provide financial assistance. This led her to seek legal recourse through the court, a decision that ultimately resulted in a tragic outcome.
Family’s Refusal and Continued Cooperation
Despite the ongoing investigation, Gomo’s family has refused to take custody of his body, insisting that the government secure it until all aspects of the case are thoroughly examined and clarified. Meanwhile, Magistrate Synyenlentu continues to cooperate with authorities at the Nimba County police headquarters as they delve deeper into the circumstances surrounding Gomo’s death.
The tragic death of Morris Gomo has left the community grappling with grief and unanswered questions. As the investigation unfolds, many are hoping for clarity and justice in this heartbreaking case.
