The suspect, according to the regional police command, was arrested on December 15, 2019, at Sawaba, a suburb in the Asokore Mampong municipality around 4 pm.

Police sources say several robberies and violent crimes including murder cases have been filed against the suspect.

In other news, YEN.com.gh has learned that a 40-year-old trader, Doris Opoku, is in police grips for defrauding a couple.

The victims, both service officers, bought a house valued at GHc95,000 from Opoku, only to learn that it has been sold to someone else.

Opoku has therefore been charged with defrauding by false pretence and has been arraigned before a circuit court in Kumasi.

She was then admitted to bail in the sum of GHc95,000 with two sureties, one of which is to be justified by the court, which is presided over by Mary Nsenkyere.

This was after she had pleaded not guilty to the count but she is scheduled to reappear before the court on December 19, 2019.
