Five more refugees at the Elubo Reception Camp have been arrested by the police to help in their investigations into the gruesome murder of two inmates of the camp last Friday.
The arrest of the five on Saturday followed the detection of bloodstains in one of the tents at the camp. The stains are suspected to be connected to the deceased.
The identities of the suspects are yet to be released by the police.
The latest arrests bring to 31 the number of suspects arrested by the police in connection with the murder.
Initially, 29 people were arrested in a swoop but three were later released and the remaining 26- kept behind bars. Information picked by the police from the suspects led them to arrest the five new suspects.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic, the District Police Commander, DSP John F. Dzineku, said the subsequent arrests were as a result of the detection of bloodstains in one of the tents and the names mentioned by some of the suspects.
He said the bodies of the two persons who were killed last Friday were still in the morgue, adding that security at the camp had been beefed up.
The District Police Commander advised inmates of the camp to give information that could help in investigations to the police.
DSP Dzineku said the police were currently in touch with the executives and managers of the camp to ensure that no such incident occurred again.
Last Friday, 20 inmates of the refugee camp at Elubo in the Western Region were arrested following the murder of two refugees.
