‘I feel they were killed and put in the car’

By Adama Makasuba

A father of one of the children found dead in a Banjul deserted auto mechanic workshop has expressed suspicion over the death of the two young children and classified it to be a man action.

Fatou Camara, 5, and Omar Konteh, 6, dead on Monday after 12 days of been declared missing from home. Police, however, launched an investigation into the matter. Their bodies were discovered in four-seat government car in the deserted auto mechanic site.

But Abdou Konteh said in shed tears that: “I feel that they were killed and put in the car that’s my feeling because if someone dies for 3 days  the body should have explode but these small kids died for 10 days and they didn’t explode that cannot be,” he lamented.

“Even in the water you would explode and in the grave and even on top of the soil that’s what God says and the kids are less than 7 years, they died for 10 days and could not explode that cannot be,” he said  with grief.

Looking at the mirrors of the car he said there is no sign of attempting to escape from the kids “no mark was found done by the kids because they – Omar was put under the car seat and Fatou was left lying naked on the car seat.”

He appealed to the police investigators to kindly help in bringing the culprits to book.

Isatou Ceesay, a neighbour, also expressed grief saying that such shocking action has never happened in Banjul throughout her ten years of staying.
