One of the suspects linked with the murder of Constable Frank William Blankson in the shooting incident in Kumasi last Sunday, disguised himself as a nursing mother to escape arrest, but had his plans nibbed in the bud.
Acting upon a tip-off late on Monday, the police responded quickly and arrested the young man, Hafix Malik, 19, wearing a headgear and a muffler and carrying a baby at the back.
He was arrested at Alar bar, a Kumasi suburb, where he was said to be attempting to sneak to the Tamale station in Kumasi to board a vehicle.
Two women in his company were also arrested - one of them, Maria Fuseini, 26, turned out to be the sister of Hafix, who allegedly gave her baby to the suspect.
Briefing the press, Corporal Godwin Ahianyo of the Ashanti Regional Police Public Relations office said moments after the suspect was arrested, he led the police to arrest two other suspects in their hideouts at different locations in the Kumasi metropolis.
So far, 13 suspects linked to the shooting incident have been arrested by the police to assist in their investigations.
The names of the suspects have not been disclosed, since, according to the police, that will undermine their investigations.
The 'Sweet Pub' shooting incident occurred when the late Constable Blankson shot and killed a young man he suspected to be an armed robber.
A few minutes later, a group of young men massed up and pounced on the policeman, pelting him with stones and cement blocks, causing him to fall.
They then collected his AK 47 assault rifle and shot him at the midsection, killing him on the spot, before escaping in waiting vehicles and on motorbikes.
