One more grabbed in Kosoa Cop killers’ case

By Joyce Danso, GNA   

Accra, Oct. 9, GNA – The Police have
arrested and arraigned one more person, Theophilous Acheampong, for his alleged
involvement in the Kosoa Cop Killers’ case.

Appearing before the Kaneshie District
Court, the Police, therefore, substituted the charge sheet of the alleged Kosoa
Cop killers.

Replacing the charge sheet, Eric Kojo Duah,
Michael Osofo Anim and Theophilus Acheampong have had their pleas preserved by
the court.

Duah aka Sakora has been charged with two
counts of murder while Anim and Acheampong are facing two counts of abetment of
crime, to wit murder.

The three are now being held for the death
of Sergeant Michael Dzamesi and Lance Corporal Awal Mohammed on August 28, this
year, on the Budumburam Aprah Road in the Central Region. 

One Kay has, however, been discharged by the
court.

Prosecuting, Assistant Superintendent of
Police (ASP) Sylvester Asare, prayed the court to remand the three accused
persons into the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) cells so they could
assist in further investigations.

According to ASP Asare, Acheampong was
arrested only two days ago and would want him to assist in investigations.

The court, presided over by Ms Rosemond D.
Agyiri, remanded them into lawful custody to reappear on October 28.

The three suspects are alleged to be using
an unregistered Toyota Camry and driving recklessly, who shot the two unarmed
policemen after refusing to stop when the policemen ordered them to on the
Budumburam-Apah road whiles on duty checks.
