MONROVIA–The Liberia National Police (LNP) has forwarded a 30-year-old woman, identified as Olyne T. Alade, to court for prosecution on charges including Murder, Aggravated Assault, and Criminal Mischief.
According to police investigators, the charges stem from a traffic-related incident that occurred on September 28, 2025, following an exchange of words between Alade and two occupants of a motorbike.
The LNP said Alade allegedly pursued the motorbike during the dispute and subsequently struck it from behind, causing both occupants to fall to the ground.
Police said one of the motorbike occupants died as a result of the incident, while the other sustained serious injuries, including fractured legs.
Following the incident, investigators said Alade allegedly fled the scene and later left Liberia for Ghana.
She was subsequently arrested in Monrovia on August 2, 2026, according to the police.
The LNP further disclosed that Alade had previously been repatriated from the United States, although investigators said she declined to disclose the reason for her repatriation during questioning.
Police said that following the conclusion of the investigation, Alade was formally charged and forwarded to court to face prosecution in accordance with Liberian law.
The charges are said to be in violation of Chapter 14, Sections 14.1(a) and 14.20(a), and Chapter 15, Section 15.3 of the Revised Penal Code of the Republic of Liberia.
The case is now before the court, where Alade is expected to be afforded all due process rights guaranteed under the laws of Liberia.
