The Wa Magistrate Court has remanded five individuals who were apprehended in connection with the homicide of Eric Johnson, the CEO of the Royal Cosy Hills Hotel, widely recognised as ‘Jirapa Dubai’.
These five suspects were part of a larger group of seven individuals detained following the distressing murder of the CEO, whose lifeless body was discovered in a pool of blood on Sunday, February 11, 2024.
Presided over by Maxibrain Titreku, the court ordered the remand of the five suspects on Thursday, February 15, following a petition from the police for additional investigations.
Nevertheless, the court granted bail to two of the suspects. The Regional Crime Scene Management Team has since examined the incident site.
Reports indicate that the owner of Royal Cosy Hills Hotel, popularly known as Jirapa Dubai, was murdered in his private residence on Monday, February 12.
It has been confirmed that Mr Johnson's attacker or attackers used a ladder to climb over his wall and subsequently used a master card to gain access to his room.
The deceased is believed to have finished taking his bath before the attack. He was found on the floor with his towel around him and bearing deep wounds on his body suspected to have been inflicted by his killer or killers.
His car was driven out of the compound but was later found abandoned in town.
