The sub-chief of Dhorroal Boma in Leer County’s Kaigai Payam in Unity State was shot dead by three assailants on Thursday, the police said.
Brigadier Tor Thor, the Director of Police in Leer County, told Radio Tamazuj Thursday that Sub-chief Wicjang Jiech was sleeping in his compound when three men, two armed and one dressed in military uniform, attacked and killed him.
“The sub-chief was killed in the night when he was sleeping outside the house. He decided to sleep outside because of the peace that had been prevailing in the area, but unfortunately, three armed men attacked the sub-chief and they shot him dead,” he said. “The incident occurred on Thursday night, and he was killed by the criminals without a reason. The criminals wanted to steal the property of the deceased sub-chief.”
“One of the three attackers was wearing a SSPDF uniform, two were armed, and one did not have a gun,” Brig. Thor added.
