The informant, who only revealed her first name as Barisi, claimed that Kara, also known as Rugged Star, kidnapped the girl and killed her in the early hours of Friday at an unfinished structure in Barako.
When apprehended and interrogated by community leaders the suspect said he is from Bomu and his father’s name is Leede Kara.
He denied killing the victim, adding that late the girl was an asthma patient and died while they were making love.
However, the Menebon of Bomu, HRH. Mene Vurasi Benedict Tenalo, when contacted on phone distanced himself from the suspect and called on the police to ensure that justice is done on the matter.
He further advised that the police should be professional in their investigation as Bomu is a peace-loving Community and would not allow the criminal element tarnish it’s the image.

Iringe-Koko said police have commenced full-scale investigation into the issues, adding the suspect would be prosecuted if found culpable.
