-Man Allegedly Axed Mother To Death

Suspect Vannie Dunor is currently undergoing investigation on allegation fatally attacking and killing his own mother with an axe in Porluwu Town, Wanhassa District, Lower Lofa County.

Suspect Dunor allegedly killed his mother on Saturday, June 27, 2026 by hitting her with the axe multiple times following what eyewitnesses said was the suspect’s unusual behavior.

An eyewitness, Bendu Kamara, quoted by the reports, said suspect Dunor had arrived from Popalahun Town and met his mother at her residence and upon seeing her, he suddenly collapsed and became unconscious, prompting his mother to alarm.

She said when nearby residents rushed to his aid and when he regained consciousness, Dunor reportedly told those present that nothing was wrong, but insisted that he did not want to see his mother.

Kamara said Dunor attempted to leave the yard, while repeatedly telling his mother to “forget about him.”

As she, the mother, followed him in an effort to understand his behavior, he allegedly picked up an axe and struck her multiple times on the head and face, leaving her critically injured.

Residents rushed the victim to the Bolahun Clinic, but were reportedly informed that the facility was closed and medical staff were unavailable.

She was later transported to Kolahun Hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

The Liberia National Police have opened an investigation into the incident, and the suspect is expected to be forwarded to court for prosecution.

The killing marks the second reported case in Lofa County within two months in which a child has allegedly used an axe to kill a parent. On May 11, 2026, 21-year-old John K. Ndorbor allegedly killed his father in Yangbalahun, Kolahun District.
