INITIAL
INCIDENT REPORT
On January 24, 2012, at 6 p.m., a
motorized patrol from the Mukoko police station was traveling on the Kasake
road. The police officers have finished their tour of duty and are heading
towards the police station to drop off the vehicle. They are in a hurry to
return to watch the broadcast of an African Cup of Nations football match on
television.
At this moment, near the
intersection known as Trois Manguiers, they saw a group of people gathered on
the side of the road. The group signals the patrol to come join them. The
police, after stopping the vehicle along the road, approached the group to
inquire about the situation.
FOLLOW-UP
REPORT #1
There are five people there. The
group seemed agitated and excited. Everyone speaks at the same time. The police
ask the group to calm down and move aside to allow them passage. They advance
into an area invaded by tall grass and thick shrubs. They then discovered, a
few meters from the road, on the side of the road, the body of a man lying on
the ground, face down. All around him there is a pool of blood. The police
then asked those present not to leave the premises. They must identify the
identities of the people making up the group and obtain their testimony.
Furthermore, they protect the stage by asking the group to move aside. The
police then begin their investigations.
FOLLOW-UP
REPORT #2
The man lying on the ground is
inert. There are no signs of breathing. The body is lifeless. The man appears
to be around thirty years old. A puddle of dried blood is spread on the ground
around him. His clothes are in disarray. We can see footprints on the
surrounding land. Crumpled grass and broken shrub branches suggest that a
struggle may have taken place.
Near the body, the police
discovered a motorcycle with a trailer attached to it. The motorcycle is lying
on the ground. The trailer is overturned. Bags containing vegetables and fruits
are torn. Their contents are scattered on the ground.
FOLLOW-UP
REPORT #3
The
police search for the victim looking for an identity document or an object
allowing them to be identified. The victim's pockets are empty. The police did
not find any object or document around the body. They then inspect the vehicle.
It is a Chinese type of motorcycle; it is in poor condition. The red paint is
barely visible, and rust is present everywhere. The trailer is also in poor
condition. No plate either on the vehicle or on the trailer allows any
identification. At the request of the police, the victim was transported by
ambulance to the nearest hospital, located approximately 20 kilometers from the
place where the victim's body was discovered.
FOLLOW-UP
REPORT #4
The
victim was quickly treated at the hospital. The doctors can do nothing for the
man who was brought to them. They declare the person dead. After examining the
body, they informed the police that the man died from a gunshot wound which hit
him in the chest, in the area of the heart. Death was instantaneous.
Furthermore, they informed the police that the victim also showed traces of
violence on his arms and hands. These traces suggest that the man struggled to
escape one or more people who were trying to hold him down. The police noted the identities of the five
people present on the scene when the patrol intervened. They collected the
first testimonies. All these people say the same thing. None of them can
provide details regarding the incident that occurred. No one witnessed the
scene. It was two walkers passing by who saw the body lying on the ground and
approached. Within minutes they were joined by three other people traveling on
the road. All say they arrived on the scene just a few minutes before the
police patrol arrived. They confirm that they saw or heard nothing and cannot
provide any additional information to the police.
