Three suspects have been apprehended by police in the Upper West Region in connection with the murder of a Fulani herdsman, age 29.
A police report claims that Demo Jeti, the deceased, left his cattle in the jungle to graze but never came back.
Later, the lifeless body was found, an inquiry was launched, and the suspects were nabbed at their hiding places as a result.
“The suspects, John Dakurah, Numbuzie Chawinaa, and Tankpare Sylvester, were arrested from their hideouts in Kuntaali village, in the Upper West, for their alleged involvement in the murder.
“Preliminary investigation indicates that the deceased took his cattle to the Kuntaali bush for grazing in the morning of July 1, 2022, but only the cattle returned home later that day without him,” the police said in a statement.
According to the police, the dead body of the deceased has been handed over to the family for burial after an autopsy was conducted.
“The lifeless body of the deceased was later found lying in between Chari and Kuntaali villages. The body was deposited at the Regional Hospital, Wa for autopsy and later handed over to the deceased’s family for burial,” the police said.
The statement added that the three suspects currently in custody will be arraigned to face prosecution.
