Police Investigate Brufut Heights Home Invasion and Murder

Police found the body of retired banker Rueben Andrew at his fancy Brufut Heights home Monday evening. His wife, Victoria, discovered him motionless when she returned home around 5pm. She rushed him to Ndeban Clinic, where doctors confirmed his death. They moved his body to the EFSTH mortuary for additional tests.

Investigators saw signs of forced entry and valuable item theft. Thieves took laptops, phones, and cash, totaling $7,000, £2,000, and about D10,000. Police found a ladder and cutlass at the crime scene. Security cameras showed the watchman and maid visiting earlier that day, but both Sierra Leonean employees disappeared afterward.

Rueben Andrew, 63, has been an important figure in Gambian banking for many years. He began at BNP Paribas in Senegal before transferring to The Gambia as acting general manager. He worked at Standard Chartered Bank Gambia as Head of Credit Analysis and Head of Sales. He also worked at SCB Sierra Leone before returning to Gambia and joining UBA.

Few neighbors interact in this upscale community where the crime happened. This limited what nearby residents could tell police about the incident. Officers mainly depended on information from close family members to understand what happened at the home of the respected retired banker.
