Margibi County Senator Roland Kaine has turned himself over to the Liberia National Police for investigation in connection with a bloody land dispute in which 13 persons have been confirmed killed.
Senator Kaine and Charles Bennie have been engaged in the land dispute in an area between Margibi and Grand Bassa Counties.
Traditional leaders and the Superintendents of Margibi and Grand Bassa Counties intervened in early May and the matter was considered resolved.
Following the meeting, Mr. Bennie contracted a group of young men from Monrovia to brush his farm intended for rubber planting.
A group of unknown men with different kind of weapons surrounded the young contractors last weekend and murdered them.
Thirteen bodies have so far been discovered with the possibility of more still in the Farmington River where the massacre took place.
The Ministry of Justice wrote the Senate to relief Senator Kaine of his Legislative immunity to be investigated.
The move followed assurance by the government that the perpetrators of the bloody incident would be brought to justice.
