The police’s action was intended to protect defendant Kiidor from a possible attack by an angry crowd, which had gone to the court to witness the appearance of the alleged killer. Reports indicate that the victim, who was a motorcyclist, catered to residents of Pipeline Community, in Paynesville. Shortly after defendant Kiidor was turned over to the Monrovia City Court, Inspector General of police Patrick Sudue said the defendant had been suspended by the Liberia National Police (LNP) pending the outcome of the case. But if the court says he is not guilty, we will reinstate him accordance with the new law of the police,” Sudue said. Meanwhile, Sudue promised to take drastic action against any police officer that will not respect the rights of civilians.
