A 25-year-old final year Mechanical Engineering student of the Kumasi Polytechnic was shot dead by an unidentified gunman in Kumasi last Saturday night.The deceased, Sammy Martins, was said to have visited his girlfriend, Abigail Abbey, at Atafowa, a Kumasi suburb, and while in the house, he had an urgent call directing him to collect an important item from the caller.Minutes after he left the house in a hurry to collect the item, he was shot in the chest and died at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) where he was rushed for medical attention.The body has been deposited at the hospital for an autopsy.The Suame Divisional Police Command have so far arrested two suspects, including Abigail Abbey, 21, to assist in their investigations. The police refused to give the name of the other suspect for security reasons.The police are also hunting for a taxi driver who was alleged to have rushed the deceased to the KATH and dumped him there without giving any clue as to how he was attacked.Briefing the Daily Graphic on the incident, the Suame Divisional Police Commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Kwakye Ntiamoah, said around 6 p.m. on Saturday, the deceased called her girlfriend and indicated that he would visit her at Atafowa.He said after receiving the call, Abigail told the deceased that she would rather arrive home a few minutes after 8p.m., so the deceased should wait until that time.He said when Abigail arrived home, the deceased was already waiting and around 9.30p.m, he had an urgent call on his mobile phone, urging him to collect an important item.He said after the call, the deceased sought permission from Abigail and rushed out of the house to collect the item, but that was the last time he was seen alive.He said when the deceased did not return home that night, his uncle became alarmed, but before he could act on it, he had a call from his wife informing him that the deceased was said to have been involved in an accident and had, therefore, been admitted to the KATH.Mr Ntiamoah said when the uncle, Mr Solomon Boadi, arrived at the hospital, he was informed that his nephew was dead from multiple gunshot wounds.He said it was at the hospital that it was revealed the deceased was dumped there by a taxi driver who did not disclose where the deceased was attacked.Source: Daily Graphic
