A man believed to be in his thirties has been arraigned before the 14^th Judicial Circuit Court in Cestos City, Rivercess County on charge of murder.

Otis Sengbloh is accused of launching an acid attack on his former fiancé and her current boyfriend in Sebgbloh Town, Timbo District.

Report from Rivercess says enough of the acid wasted on the girls’ three-year old child who died while en route to the hospital.

According to the report, the girl was seriously injured from the acid attack and is undergoing medical treatment in Cestos City.

Otis told the Circuit Court Friday he is poor and cannot pay for his legal defense.

The report said the Supreme Court has contacted a law firm in Monrovia for defense lawyers following a request from Resident Judge Samuel Geevon-Smith.
