“The victim passed away on Sunday. This morning, we sent a
police force to escort the body for burial,” said Arkangelo Guot, director of
general administration at the police department.
Last week, Bol Akech Dhal was shot in the left eye by his
playmate at Lolkou village on Friday.
A medical report submitted to police indicates that the bullet
did hit the teenager’s skull.
The unnamed owner of the guns was away - on the mission when
the incident happened, according to the authorities.
Director of general administration at the police, however, disclosed
that a negligence case has been filed against the military officer and boy, who
are now in police custody.
Guot appealed to the family of the deceased to remain calm to
allow the law to take its course.
Guot urged the arms carriers to keep guns at the police or
military stores instead of their houses to avoid such incident from happening.
