Post mortem on Honorio Oba complete

Story PictureA post mortem examination has been concluded on nineteen year old Honorio Marcelino Oba from the village of San Victor who was fatally shot in Douglas Village. Oba was shot in a confrontation between residents of San Victor Village and Customs Officers last week Thursday when a variety of contraband goods were confiscated by the authorities. Warning shots were fired upon the villagers by the officers, and Oba took a bullet to the face despite hiding behind some vehicles in the vicinity. The post-mortem declares the cause of death to be an acute pulmonary edema, caused by a head injury inflicted by a gunshot. Police investigations into the shooting are still ongoing.
