Monrovia June 2— Justice Minister Oswland Tweh has announced that the Ministry of Justice is launching a fresh investigation into several high-profile alleged murder cases from the previous administration, including the case involving a former Executive Protection Services (EPS) agent Melvin Earley and the mysterious disappearance of three boys.
Speaking on “Class Reloaded” on Punch FM, Minister Tweh acknowledged public concern over delays in the legal process but explained that the ministry is starting many of the investigations from scratch due to the absence of critical records and evidence.
“There were alleged murder cases under the past regime including the former EPS agent, three missing boys, and a lot more. Some of these cases you don’t find records or pieces of evidence for them,” Tweh said.
He emphasized that the lack of documentation has forced the Ministry to rebuild the cases from the ground up, a process that requires time and thorough investigation.
In addition, the Justice Minister addressed the matter of former officials who were sanctioned by the U.S. government. Tweh confirmed that the Liberian government is in discussion with U.S. authorities to obtain evidence related to the sanctions in order to move forward with domestic prosecution.
“They sanctioned them, and we need to get the files on their crimes to prosecute them,” he stated.
The Ministry’s renewed efforts signal a push for accountability and transparency in cases that have long been shrouded in mystery and controversy.
