A 16-year old boy identified as Boakai Sheriff alias ‘Five Dollars Note’ has been charged with murder and remanded at the Monrovia Central Prison for allegedly killing Amanda Nebo of the Monrovia City Police.
Magistrate Ben Barco on Monday, May 13, 2024, sent to jail Defendant Sheriff based on police investigation.
The defendant is charged with multiple crimes including Murder, Theft of Property, Criminal Conspiracy and Criminal Solicitation which is in violation of chapters 14, 15, and 10; sections 14.1, 15.51, 10.4, and 10.3 of the revised Penal Law of Liberia.
Police investigation finds out that the defendant caused the death of deceased Amanda Nebo under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to have the value of human life and his criminal conduct was facilitated by Archie to be identified who criminally took away her bag.
According to the investigators, they did not retrieve the weapon because defendant Sheriff fled the scene after he stabbed Officer Nebo.
According to the investigation, the defendant had all of the opportunities to depose or conceal the murder weapon as he did by changing the long black sleeve sweater he was wearing during the commission of the crime and later returned to the crime scene wearing a yellow T-shirt.
Police Investigation also established that Boakai claimed that the weapon he used on Officer Nebo was a razor blade but given the deepness of the wounds (precisely the three wounds under her left hand), coupled with the lacerations of each of the three wounds, officers concluded that knife was used to stab Officer Nebo.
The charge sheet alleged that there was no electricity at the place of the incident (Barnersville Junction) when Officer Amanda Nebo was stabbed on Sunday, April 13, 2024 by the defendant.
Police investigation indicated that the initial allegation linking Jenkins Reed alias Chicken Wing as the person who stabbed Officer Nebo was not substantiated by the investigators or that said allegation has no iota of truth, instead Boakai Sheriff and his accomplice Archie to be identified, were the ones responsible for the death of Amanda Nebo.
Additionally, the investigation established that prior to Officer Nebo’s death, she and other graduates of Cathedral Catholic High School class of 2008 leaving the induction ceremony of Mrs. Theresa Doree Cooper and others to be identified held on Saturday, April 13, 2024, within the Philadelphia Church Community, New Georgia House Estate there was no report of wounds on her, precisely under her left hand.
The charge sheet averred that Amanda alongside Ebric S. Sammy and Turkey Kamara, members of the 2008 graduating class of Cathedral Catholic High School left their 2008 class induction ceremony in a vehicle driven by Mrs. Yassah D. Kota, also a graduate of the 2008 class and she drove them (Victim Amanda Nebo and Ebric S. Sammy) to Barnersville Junction where they were expected to board vehicles for their respective residences (Barnersville Estate and Neezoe Community, Paynesville).
The charge sheet alleged that after driving Ebric S. Sammy and victim Amanda Nebo at Barnersville Junction on Saturday, April 13, 2024, Mrs. Yassah D. Kota drove off with Turkey Kamara in the car and they both proceeded to their residence in Chocolate City, Gardnersville thus leaving Ebric S. Sammy and victim Amanda Nebo at the Barnersville Junction on Japanese Freeway.
The investigation alleged that it was Defendants Sheriff and Archie to be identified, who intentionally, knowingly and purposely decided to attack victim Amanda Nebo for her bag and in the process, Archie to be identified robbed victim Amanda Nebo of her bag while, Boakai Sheriff was held onto by Officer Nebo after the robbery and in an attempt to release himself, he used a knife to stab victim Amanda Nebo four times (three stabbed wounds under her left arm and one over the hand) thus leaving her to sustain grievous wounds and bled profusely for several hours before her demise.
