“Yesterday around 5:30 am I had a distress call from one Mr. Bawa telling me that one Chief Butcher has been shot dead by armed robbers around Kasampore so \u00a0I quickly organised some police officers and then we arrived at the scene. It was around Kasampore that they shot the chief butcher.”<\/p>\n
