Addressing the media, Deputy Central East Regional police commander, ACP Oduro Amaning, said the suspects kept relocating to places in the Volta and Northern Regions until they were finally nabbed.

During the arrest, police retrieved from the suspects 53 passports, 16 rolls of dried leaves suspected to be Indian hemp, nine mobile phones, eight sim cards, varied ID cards of some persons as well as other traveling documents.

ACP Oduro Amaning also disclosed that some other suspects who were arrested earlier in connection with the murder have been remanded.
