The corpse of a close to 25 years old man was found in one of the gutters at ‘Kuwait’ at the New Priso neighbourhood of Douala II Subdivision yesterday.  Some awe-struck inhabitants told CT that they discovered the lifeless body at about 10am when they noticed flies unusually humming the spot.  Some testified that they overheard rowdiness along the street at about 2am following shouts of a man they suspect to be a motorbike rider under attack.

The deceased is said to have been among a group of unidentified robbers who purported attacked the motorbike rider. Alerted by shouts for help from the victim, a mob quickly mobilised, searched and caught one of the alleged robbers whom they lynched to death in the gutter. The corpse remained there until afternoon when fire fighters came and conveyed the corpse to the Laquintinie Hospital Mortuary.
