Mr Croal turned himself in at the Wismar Police Station, accompanied by his lawyer, as investigations continue into the murder of 56-year-old Nigel Sommersall.

Two other suspects—construction worker/miner, 22-year-old Jamal Fullington of Victory Valley, Wismar Linden, and pork-knocker, 19-year-old Shaquan Miller of Blueberry Hill, Wismar Linden—were arrested at about 12:45 Monday afternoon for questioning in relation to the alleged murder of Sommersall.

Police said Sommersall was found by a cousin lying motionless next to his motorcycle at about 5 a.m., November 2024.

Investigators were informed that about 3:45 Monday morning a motorcycle was heard riding towards the dead man’s house at West Watooka Hill Top. This was followed by several suspected gunshots and what reportedly sounded like the motorcycle falling to the ground.
