Four suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder of a 65-year-old security guard, Kwabena Boateng, at the De-Bridge One District One Factory (1D1F) facility at Gomoa Akotsi in the Central Region.
The Gomoa Ojobi District Police Command confirmed the arrests in an interview with Adom News, adding that four other suspects remain at large.
The key suspects have been identified as 28-year-old businessman Samuel Larbie and 32-year-old motor mechanic Wisdom Sosu.
Two other individuals, Nabil Mohammed and Mahmoud Kardi, were also arrested for allegedly purchasing the deceased’s mobile phone, as well as stolen coils and copper wires.
According to police, the stolen electrical items are valued at GH₵250,000. The deceased’s Infinix Smart 8 mobile phone is also valued at GH₵1,800.
Mr. Boateng was suffocated to death by the robbers on July 2, 2025, when he tried to stop the gang from stealing cables from two electricity transformers on the factory premises.
Police sources say this was the second armed attack on Mr. Boateng. The robbers reportedly tied his hands and legs with a rope before covering his head with a polythene bag, leading to his death by suffocation.
