Clarke and the two other injured people were taken to hospital where Clarke was pronounced dead while the others were admitted.

On Thursday morning, unmanned roadblocks were mounted in Asia. The police have since cleared the road and are maintaining a strong presence in the community.

The Independent Commission of Investigations (INDECOM) is probing the incident.
