City rocked by high-profile murders

Two sons of former Liberian leaders and an immigration officer have become the latest victims of a wave of killings sweeping across Liberia. Police spokesperson Moses Carter confirmed to the BBC that the youngest son of assassinated President William Tolbert was murdered on Monday. The body of Reverend William Tolbert III was found at his Monrovia home. His father was gruesomely killed and his body dismembered in the Samuel Doe-led military coup in 1980. His death came a day after the battered body of immigration officer Maude Elliott was discovered in the city. In September, John Tubman, a son of former President William Tubman, was also murdered.
