The Attorney-General's (AG's) Office in Kumasi says it has gathered substan­tial evidence to prosecute two suspects over the murder of Samuel Enin, the for­mer Ashanti Regional Chairman of the Ghana Journalists Association (GJA). The suspects, Sherif Kabore and Kwame Ayew, have denied knowledge of the act but Chief State Attorney William Kpobi said investigations had so far estab­lished incontrovertible evidence of murder perpetrated by the suspects. However, the AG's office linked the murder to robbery perpetrated by the two. Mr Kpobi told the Daily Graphic that the trial was likely to start before the end of the year, adding that currently his office was in the process of putting its act together to enable it to present the case before court. "I will, therefore, plead with all to have faith in us so that the right processes will be followed to bring the suspects before court," he said. The interview followed concerns raised by the GJA over the long delay in bringing the perpetrators of the heinous act before the law, especially when it had already paid a reward of GH¢2,000 to the police after they announced the arrest of the two about two years ago. In February 2007, Enin and some friends were sitting over drinks at the Libra Spot at Old Tafo in Kumasi in the night when armed men shot him in the neck and the abdomen. He died shortly after he was rushed to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for attention. The gunmen took away some mobile phones but left the cash which Enin had with him in a plastic bag. They bolted in a white saloon car but the police later found the vehicle abandoned at Ashanti New Town in Kumasi. Further investigations led to the arrest of Sherif and Ayew as the principal suspects. Ayew, who was wanted in an armed rob­bery case, is currently serving a jail term at the Kumasi Prison.
