Identified as Sulemana Fuseini alias Akon, he was arrested by a mob in Kumasi on Thursday at Kenyasi Abirem.

This brings to four, the total number of suspects who have been arrested by the police in connection with the killing.

The mob, which traced Akon to his hideout in their attempt to arrest him reportedly stabbed and injured him.

Akon, under police guard was sent to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) for medical attention after which he has been placed in police custody pending his appearance in court next week.
