Two murdered in Bunkprugu

Police in the Northern region have launched a probe into to the death of two men in Bunkprugu Yunyoo.

Their bodies were found in a bush after being reported to have gone missing last Friday.

According to the Police, physical examination on the two bodies reveal they may have been struggling with each other.

Superintendent Steven Deplaporte with the Northern regional Police command told Starr News no gunshots wound were found on them.

“It was late when we received the report, so the following day, we organised a search party and they followed to the bush and after a search, the bodies were discovered; which suggested that they died through struggling. So it is not a shooting incident but investigations have begun,” he noted.

Meanwhile, Police and military reinforcement have been dispatched to the town following renewed clashes two days ago.

At least one person was severely injured in the violence that is steeped in in ethnic and chieftaincy disagreements.
