After attempting to take the body away for some time, even following the arrival of the forensics department, police struggled to get the angry crowd to back off for them to transport the body, which was still inside a police vehicle parked in front of the hospital, to the morgue.

The deceased suspect, who died earlier on Saturday, was only identified as 38-year-old Ichaka, who died earlier today.
