AK-47 found after murder

Reports are that the officers went to a bushy area off Cemetery Street where they found the AK- 47 rifle. No arrest was made. Earlier in the day on Wednesday, Ransome also known as “Shabby” was gunned down moments after receiving a telephone call. At about 2 pm, while driving, Ramsome’s car was struck from behind by another vehicle.

As he got out of the car and ran off, gunmen from the other car gave chase. Ransome tripped and fell and was immediately set upon by the gunmen who pumped bullets into his body. He died on the spot.

The rifle has been sent to the Forensic Science Centre for ballistic tests to see if spent shell recovered at the scene were fired from the AK-47.
