The Dabala District Court has remanded five suspects for the murder of Sogakope South Assemblyman, Mawutor Adzahli.
A statement from the police CID said the five suspects were arrested from different locations in the country.
“The Police is by this means imploring the public to continue to volunteer accurate and timely information to assist in the investigation of this crime,” the statement said.
According to the police, one Vincent Adjei, 34, is believed to be the ring leader in the murder of the Assemblyman, Adzahli.
The four others are Bright Awuya, 33; Franklin Tetteh 22; Ansong Steven 26; and Amos Agbaklah 25.
The suspects are, meanwhile, expected to reappear in court on May 26.
Assembly member shot at his home
Adzahli was killed in his home by unknown assailants who broke into his apartment at dawn of Sunday, March 1.
The armed assailants allegedly used cement blocks to destroy the assembly member’s burglar-proof doors before entering his room.
Witnesses said the attackers shot Mr. Adzahli several times, leading to his death.
The late assemblyman’s wife and child, who also sustained injuries in the attack have since been treated and discharged from the hospital.
Former presidents, John Mahama and Jerry Rawlings commiserated with the family with the later placing a GH¢25,000 bounty on the heads of the killers.
