An intelligence-led operation led to the arrest of Samuel Larbie (M)
The Gomoa East District Police in the Central Region have apprehended four individuals in connection with the murder of Alexander Kwaku Boateng, a 65-year-old private security guard at Ojobi.
The victim’s body was discovered on June 30 at the premises of a One-District-One-Factory (1D1F) project, with his head wrapped in a plastic bag and his hands and legs tied, suggesting suffocation.
Investigations revealed that the site’s electricity transformer had been tampered with, resulting in the theft of interior components and cables valued at GH¢250,000.00.
An intelligence-led operation led to the arrest of Samuel Larbie, a 28-year-old businessman; Wisdom Sosu, a 32-year-old motor mechanic; Nabil Mohammed; and Mahmoud Kadir.
Larbie and Sosu are identified as the primary suspects in the murder, while Mohammed and Kadir allegedly purchased stolen items, including the deceased’s Infinix Smart 8 phone worth GH¢1,800.00.
Four additional suspects remain at large and are currently being pursued by the police.
