The Ghana Police Service has arrested two individuals for their involvement in the murder of a Lebanese national.

The deceased, Omar Mikati (58) was murdered on Friday, June 20, at his residence at East Legon, Accra.

The deceased was found dead in a pool of blood. A dispatched team from the Crime Scene Management Unit (CSMU) at the Police Headquarters collected relevant forensic evidence to commence the investigation.

Preliminary investigations suggest that the perpetrator(s) fled the scene with the deceased’s Samsung mobile phone.

They, however, left behind other items, including two iPhones and a GCB ATM card bearing the name Paul Twumasi Ankrah.

Further probing led to the arrest of Paul Twumasi Ankrah at Samsam Medie, who implicated his accomplice, one Asiedu Henning, alias Nana Kofi Anum.

On July 2, Asiedu Henning was arrested in an intelligence-led operation at his hideout in Kutunse.

He led police to a location where the CSMU team processed the scene and retrieved a knife that had been disposed of by the suspects. The exhibit knife is being processed for forensic analysis.

Both accused persons were put before the Adabraka District Court 1, where they have been remanded into Police custody to reappear on Tuesday, July 8.

Meanwhile, the body of the deceased has been conveyed to the morgue for preservation and autopsy.
