The Ghana Police Service had arrested two suspects in connection with the murder of a night security guard in the Upper West Region.
One of the suspects, Sherif Abdullai, has confessed to killing 15 people, including three victims in Bole and Banda in the Savannah Region.
According to the police, Abdullai targets watchmen and mentally challenged persons, and his modus operandi involves carrying his victims on his shoulder and burying them in bushes.
