Man grabbed over Kumasi murder

The police in Kumasi, the Ashanti Regional capital, have grabbed Issah Mohammed alias Issah Koodey, and also chasing his son, Sayibor, over the murder of one Richard Apuri.

The father, the son and other people allegedly inflicted machete wounds on Apuri at a road intersection between Kaase and Ahodwo on May 1, 2017.

Apuri, a resident of Kaase, reportedly bled profusely after the alleged attack and he was said to have given up the ghost when he was rushed to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for treatment.

Issah Koodey and his son, after allegedly committing the heinous crime, went into hiding but luck eluded Koodey as he was eventually nabbed on May 20 at Daaban.

Police investigations have linked the murder to a fierce scuffle that ensued between some youth of Kaase and Apraman at the Fire City Pub, Adiebeba, recently.

The Ashanti Regional Police Commander, DCOP Ken Yeboah, addressing the media, said Sayibor, who is now wanted, was reportedly injured during the said fracas.

The assault on Sayibor reportedly incensed his father and so he purportedly threatened to eliminate any youth from Kaase that he would meet.

The police chief said two hours after the clash, Issah Koodey, his son and other young men hired a taxi to comb the area in search of potential victims.

In the course of their search, they allegedly spotted Apuri, believed to be a resident of Kaase, and without provocation, they attacked him with machete.
