The deceased worked at the Berekum Police Station where the sad incident is reported to have happened.
The suspect and an ex-convict, Yaw Peprah had been invited to the police station to assist in an ongoing investigation into a case that Saturday.

According to preliminary investigations, Yaw voluntarily accompanied the late police officer to the Berekum Police Station.
However, on arrival, the suspect is said to have suddenly stabbed the officer “severally on the neck and other parts of the body and escaped.”

More drama followed when a search party was constituted to fish out the notorious suspect that same day.
This led the operation into an altercation when he was finally found.

Police say the suspect " again attempted to attack the arresting officers..."
However, Yaw Peprah was eventually "shot and killed in the process," per the police statement signed by the Director-General of Public Affairs, ACP Kwesi Ofori.
