Confirming the story to Daily Guide, the Kaneshie Divisional Crime Officer, DSP Dogbevia K. Wonder, indicated that on August 6, 2010, around 2am, Osei, with his gang, attacked a traveler near a filling station, collected hi9s two mobile phones and an amount of GHc120.
He noted that the gang also inflicted multiple cutlass wounds on the suspect and left him to his fate.
A report was lodged at the Kaneshie Police Station and the victim was given a hospital form for medical treatment, adding that “Suspect, Samuel Amankwah Osei, was however arrested last Saturday by the Police with the assistance of the public.”
DSP Dogbevia said the machete which Osei hid at the Awudome cemetery was also retrieved and was identified by the victim as the cutlass used to inflict the wounds on him.
