Information reaching DAILY GUIDE indicates that Kobina Bismark Baidoo, a 40-year-old mason who allegedly doused his wife Alimatu Mohammed, his son and the wife's niece in petrol and set them ablaze at Agona Swedru in the Central Region, has been arrested by the Western Regional Police Command.The suspect, according to a police source, went to a man whose identity cannot be disclosed due to-security reasons at Bensu in the Western Region and introduced himself as a mason who was seriously looking for a job.According to the police, the man, who had read the story in DAILY GUIDE, called the Agona Swedru Police to inform them about the suspect.The Agona Swedru Police also sent a signal to the Western Regional Police who arrested Baidoo.As at the time of filing this report, a source close to the police said efforts had been made to transport Baidoo to the Agona Swedru to face charges.Before the suspect's arrest, he was believed to be hiding in a village near Agona Swedru after committing the crime.Reliable sources say although phone calls to his mobile phone went through, the suspect declined to pick the calls, suggesting that he was within coverage area.It would be recalled that DAILY GUIDE, in its last Friday issue, published a story headlined Man Fries Wife, Kids which said Baidoo had poured petrol on his wife, son and the wife's niece at Agona Swedru and set them on fire with matches before fleeing.According to the story, Baidoo had a misunderstanding with his wife over a faulty refrigerator the wife used to sell iced water.Baidoo, allegedly after the quarrel, sneaked in on his wife and the kids when they were fast asleep around midnight and set them ablaze.The children are his 3-year-old son, Abdul Sadick, and his wife's little niece, 7-year-old Mariatu Adams, who sustained serious burns.Source: Daily Guide/Ghana
