DETECTIVES in Regional Division 10 are investigating the alleged murder of 56-year-old Nigel Somersall, a food stall owner from West Watooka and Wismar Housing Scheme, Linden.
Somersall was discovered lifeless by his cousin early Tuesday morning, lying next to his motorcycle near his home.

The incident was reported to the police around 05:30hrs., after which detectives arrived to process the scene.

As part of the ongoing investigation, three suspects have been detained. Yesterday afternoon at 17:54hrs (5:54 p.m), Calwyn Croal, also known as “Brother Croal,” a 55-year-old contractor of Blueberry Hill, Wismar, turned himself in at the Wismar Police Station, accompanied by his lawyer.
Earlier on the same day, police arrested two other suspects for questioning in connection with the alleged murder. Jamal Fullington, a 22-year-old construction worker and miner of Victory Valley, and Shaquan Miller, a 19-year-old pork-knocker of Blueberry Hill, Wismar, were taken into custody at approximately 12:45hrs.

The motive behind Somersall’s death remains unclear as detectives continue to investigate and gather information from the suspects. The police are working to determine the circumstances surrounding the fatal incident.
