The Monrovia City Court has ordered the arrest of Moses H. Abossouhe, Chief Executive Officer of St. Moses Funeral Parlor, following allegations of the unlawful exhumation and reburial of a deceased woman.
The arrest order is contained in a writ issued by Stipendiary Magistrate L. Ben Barco after a formal complaint was lodged by private prosecutrix Euphemia Thompson Wisner, acting through the Republic of Liberia.
According to court documents, Abossouhe and two others, Stanley Y. Roberts and Jackie Greene, are accused of engaging in the unauthorized removal of the remains of the late Pinky Greene, who died on January 1, 2026, and was buried on January 31, 2026.
Prosecutors allege that on February 25, 2026, the grave of the deceased was unlawfully opened at a cemetery in Johnsonville, Montserrado County, and the body transported and reinterred at a burial site in Bomi County, reportedly owned and operated by the St. Moses Funeral Parlor CEO.
Authorities say the act was carried out without any legal authorization or court order, in violation of Section 18.12 of Liberia’s New Penal Law, which criminalizes Abuse of a Corpse.
The statute prohibits the intentional and unlawful treatment of a human corpse in a manner that the law does not permit. The prosecution maintains that the alleged conduct was deliberate, clandestine, and executed through a coordinated conspiracy among the defendants.
Prosecutors have charged the defendants with crimes ranging from Abuse of a Corpse, Criminal Facilitation, and Criminal Conspiracy. In the arrest document, the court instructed Captain Charles Bloyueloh of the Magistrate Police and other law enforcement officers to apprehend the accused individuals and ensure their appearance before the Monrovia City Court to respond to the allegations.
However, a separate writ issued against Jackie Greene dated February 26, 2026, places additional charges on him for unlawfully removing and depositing the body of her late aunt, Pinky Greene, at St. Moses Funeral Parlor without proper authorization.
Prosecutors assert that Greene’s alleged actions violate provisions of the Penal Law governing property entrusted for a specific purpose and the ethical handling of human remains. The additional charges against Greene include Misapplication of Entrusted Property, Theft of Property, and Abuse of Corpse.
The court records indicate that investigators believe Greene’s actions formed part of a broader scheme that facilitated the unlawful transfer and reburial of the deceased. The defendants are expected to appear in court once apprehended, where the prosecution will outline its evidence in support of the charges. The case has drawn significant public attention due to the sensitive nature of the allegations and the involvement of a major funeral home.
