The elements of the investigation into the death of a man named Dracula in the city of Bertoua indicate that he died after receiving 7 stab wounds to the chest, abdomen, back, and thigh. The reconstruction of the events that took place earlier this week allowed the public prosecutor to understand the sequence of events of this murder that occurred in the regional capital of the East.
The murder of Dracula dates back to December 11, 2023. As the December sun was shining bright that morning, the Regional Division of the Judicial Police Services was alerted to the presence of a lifeless body in a place called Ndemnam in the district of Bertoua 2. Without delay, the public prosecutor, Commissioner Herve Djeumo, and a team of forensic experts went to the scene to make the necessary observations.
At the scene, a man in his twenties was lying on the ground, bearing visible stab wounds. On the ground, the blood he had lost traced the path to where he was stabbed. The police went to a nearby area where motorcycles are sold. At that location, the evidence collected by the police indicates a violent altercation between the victim and his attackers. The police hypothesized that the assault was for the purpose of stealing the victim’s motorcycle, especially since the attire of the deceased man clearly indicated that he could be a motorcycle rider. The evidence of a broken headlight confirmed this initial hypothesis, and after their observations, the public prosecutor ordered the opening of an investigation.
Two weeks passed and the initial investigation did not progress much. But on December 24, 2023, a breakthrough occurred. As part of the implementation of security measures prescribed during the holiday season, the teams of the Regional Division of the Judicial Police in the East patrolling in Ndemnam apprehended a group of individuals in the act of aggression. After using warning shots, the elements of the division apprehended one of them. Through his interrogation, the police were able to apprehend his other accomplices. During their interrogation, they confessed to having assaulted someone on the night of December 10 to 11, 2023, from whom they stole 400,000 francs. The loot was given to Dracula, and after presenting a different amount, a violent altercation ensued during which his three accomplices fatally stabbed him.
