The two suspected murderers of Mr Samuel Ennin, the former Ashanti Regional Chairman of the Ghana Journalist Association (GJA), will be put before a high court in Kumasi in October.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Frank Adu-Poku, Ashanti Regional Police Commander, said the Attorney General's Office has given the go ahead for the trial to commence after the legal vacation.
He was briefing journalists in Kumasi on the crime situation in the Ashanti Region.
The two suspects, Sherriff Kabbori 27 and Kwame Ayew alias Red, 27, were arrested by the Kumasi Police in April and placed in custody. Their two alleged accomplices are still on the run.
After their arrest police described them as armed robbers, contrary to the speculations at the time that the suspects might have been contracted by some people to kill Mr Ennin.
Mr Adu-Poku said police had not relaxed in controlling criminal activities but said they had to work within the confines of the law.
He said the rise in crime, especially armed robberies in the region, did not mean the police were ineffective and that the police were still fighting very hard to bring it under control.
Mr Adu-Poku appealed to the public to support the police with information.
