* Sekinat Akele
Quasi-Suspects
* Willow Blennington
* Ogak Omuga
Killer
* Onome Agnes
Motive
Onome admitted to being a member of the pirate clan and said that she originally held Cherechi hostage in order to get a ransom for it, as she knew how wealthy his grandmother is. She said that she doesn’t get paid enough to be a teacher and the pirates promised her money if she did what they said. After Sekinat refused to pay the ransom, Onome got angry and shot the kid point blank. She said she never meant to kill Cherechi, but that once she did, she panicked and hid his body in the dumpster behind the bar, hoping one of the staff members or frequenters would get blamed for the murder.
Sentence
Life Imprisonment
Additional Investigation
After Onome’s arrest, we demand to know where the weapons are going and she tells us that since she’s no longer with the pirate group, it’s safe to tell us. Onome said that the pirates have done shady deals with someone named Barabbas who used to be a member of a terrorist organization in the middle-east. We get Willow to look up any shady person named “Barabbas” in her records and she stumbles upon a “Barabbas Aoko,” a wanted fugitive who killed dozens of people in the name of a terrorist organization in the U.S. and managed to slip right under the FBI’s noses. Willow then said she got in touch with a warlord who’s on the hunt for Barabbas named Ogak Omuga and that she set up a meeting for the two of us. We tell him what we know about the weapons smuggling and he tells us that he heard about it too and that it’s really bad news for both of us. We agree that Barabbas could potentially be involved and he tells us that he recently received a tip that Barabbas is hiding out with one of his old friends in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Ogak said he was heading there and we tell him we’re right behind him.
