The Gambia Police Force has announced the arrest of a suspect in connection with the alleged murder of a woman in Brikama Misira.
According to police, the suspect—identified as Sulayman Saidykhan, 26, a native of Bakary Sambouya—is alleged to be linked to the killing of Fatou Sambou, a resident of Kembujeh Madina.
Investigators disclosed that the suspect has made new statements which contradict his earlier account. He initially claimed to be a former member of The Gambia Armed Forces who was dismissed in 2014 over drug-related offences. However, during further questioning, he recanted and said the claim was false, explaining instead that he only lived at Yundum Barracks with his brother, who is no longer serving in the military.
Police also stated that the suspect admitted the military trousers he wore at the time of his arrest were not issued to him by the armed forces but were given to him by a friend.
The Gambia Police Force has reassured the public of its commitment to a thorough, impartial and transparent investigation, adding that further updates will be provided as inquiries continue.
