Col. Sudue explained that owning to the commission of the crime, Suspect Garplea's parents being knowledgeable of the act, took their son and the deceased Nephew in hiding at their home in the county, while in the process of getting a native doctor involved to seal the matter; something that did not materialize up to their arrest.
Admitting to the commission of the crime, suspect Garplea said he was ushered into the deceased home by his Nephew suspect Alloysius Byron Anderson. The deceased Nephew also admitting to the commission of the crime, told police that he did that on personal ground.
But according to IG Sudue, there is a steady issue regarding the age of suspect Garplea on grounds that he is 16 years old, while his associate claiming that he (Garplah) is actually 19 years of age.
Sudue also revealed that they are also talking with suspect Garplea's parents and other family members to establish whether he is actually 16 years of age as claimed.
Meanwhile, Col. Sudue said they are yet to get any trace of the murder suspects of Williams Tolbert III and Maude Elliott, a female Immigration Officer.
The LNP reassured the media and the general public that it will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that perpetrators of these deaths are arrested and face the full weight of the law.
