Sources at the community told Vanguard that the hoodlums invaded the camp in an attempt to rob the fishermen and women, but ended up killing the victims following a brawl with one of them. Giving details of the incident, one of those fishing at the camp said that the hoodlums came into the camp and pointed a gun at her head while shouting for her to hand over her possessions.

She said: "While I was being frisked, others went to an adjourning house where the victims were sleeping. Angered by the way his mother was being manhandled, the son engaged the hoodlums in a brawl, which resulted to both of them being shot.”

An indigene of the community, Lokiri Preye, said: "When the news filtered into the community that hoodlums were attacking a fishing camp, the community mobilised to the camp only to discover the remains of both victims."
