The Police say the ongoing investigation into the Mankesim murder case has established that the two suspects have murdered one other person.
This brings to two the number of people confirmed to have been gruesomely murdered by the suspects.
Michael Darko alias Nana 1 and Christopher Ekow Clarke's initial crime which is currently being heard by the courts involved the alleged killing of an aspiring trainee nurse, Georgina Asor Botchwey.
However, the second murdered victim, Gloria Yeboah, a petty trader, from Obokrom in Kumasi was reported missing sometime in June 2022 when she left home in her quest to travel abroad.
Police say the suspects lured the deceased to Accra on June 17, 2022, and took her to Mankessim under the pretext of preparing her to travel to the Netherlands. However, she was later killed by the two.
The body of the deceased has been found and police have been able to locate her family who identified her as Gloria Yeboah.
Police are providing the necessary support to the family in these difficult times.
The service said it is also following a lead on a possible third victim who might have been murdered by the suspects.
Investigations so far point to the fact that the suspects are involved in ritual murders.
They lure their victims, sometimes under the pretext of helping them to travel abroad and then kill them.
The police, therefore, urged any member of the public who has dealt with the suspects or knows someone who has ever dealt with them to contact the police on 0243809991 to assist in the investigation.
"We would like the public to note that this is a temporal number dedicated only to this investigation".
