Three suspects have been remanded, one granted GH¢50,000 bail
The Awutu Bereku District Court, presided over by Her Ladyship Armah Adomako Kwarkye, has remanded three suspects into police custody in connection with the murder of a 65-year-old security man at Gomoa Akoti in the Central Region.
A fourth suspect, Nabil Mohammed, a phone dealer at Kasoa, was granted bail in the sum of GH¢50,000 with two sureties.
According to a report by adomonline.com on August 5, 2025, the suspects, Samuel Larbie, a 28-year-old businessman, and Wisdom Sosu, a 32-year-old mechanic, among others, were arrested by the Gomoa Ojobi District Police Command after allegedly travelling from Fetteh Kakraba to Gomoa Akoti to commit the crime.
The prosecution stated that the suspects tied the victim’s legs, knees, and head before suffocating him to death.
They allegedly stole the victim’s Infinix Smart 8 mobile phone, valued at GH¢1,800, along with copper coils and other components from two ECG transformers worth GH¢250,000.
Investigations revealed that the stolen phone was sold to Nabil Mohammed, whose arrest led to the identification and apprehension of the other suspects.
The stolen electrical components were reportedly sold to another individual in Accra.
Nabil is expected to reappear in court on August 18, 2025.
Following the court proceedings, the deceased’s brother, Peter Dankwa, commended the police for their swift action and urged them to ensure the arrest of all remaining suspects to guarantee justice.
