Police arrest three suspects over murder at Gbiniyiri

The Ghana Police Service has arrested three suspects in connection with cases of murder and causing harm at Gbiniyiri in the Savannah Region.

The suspects, Yaw Bamuah, Yaa Bokaa and Kuma Simpor, were arrested on March 14 by the Inspector-General of Police’s Special Intelligence Team in collaboration with the Savannah Regional Police Command.

According to a press release issued by the police in Damongo, investigations revealed that during interrogation, suspect Yaw Bamuah admitted involvement in the attack and mentioned several accomplices, including Anuda Borour, Pobiye, Bitunor Sansa and James Sanyuah, who are currently being pursued by the police.

The suspect further disclosed that the attack was carried out in retaliation following the killing of a relative whom they believed had been attacked by robbers suspected to be Fulani.

Police said Yaw Bamuah subsequently led investigators to his residence at Gbiniyiri, where a single-barrel shotgun with serial number BAT 2598-88 and two live AAA cartridges were retrieved from a concealed location within the compound.

The suspects are currently in police custody, assisting investigations and will be put before court, while efforts continue to apprehend the remaining suspects linked to the incident.
