Deceased Family Demand Homicide Investigation into Daughter’s Death At Ricks Institute

The family of 13-year-old Angel Nagbe is demanding a homicide investigation into the untimely death of their daughter.

The family counter-argued that before Angel’s demise, she showed no symptoms of illness. The family’s quest for homicide investigation is in response to the school’s recent press statement.

The 6th grade Ricks Institute student met her untimely death on December 12 while on a school trip to Buchanan, Grand Bassa County.

The school in a press statement indicated that their “internal investigation established that Student Nagbe was sick at home before going on the field trip in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County”.

According to the school, this information was unknown to the School’s Administration before their departure. While the school announced its sympathy to members of the bereaved family, it also clarified that the deceased was ill from home when she joined the rest of the students for the trip.

“Given the severity of her illness upon our return to Monrovia, the School’s In-House Nurse from Ricks’ Clinic immediately took her to Redemption Hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.”

The grieving family narrated that Angel attended all classes including Saturday class as required by the school on December 10 and never showed any symptoms of illness.

Angel’s family, however, has been taken aback by the statement released by the school, stating that the school had no regard and empathy for the family. The family indicated that it was not consulted before the release of the statement.
