Thirty two (32) year-old Sampson Owusu Adjei was shot and killed by the AK-46 assault rifle-wielding assailants who made away with an unspecified amount of money.

The Ashanti Regional Police Commander, DCOP Kwaku Mensah-Duku who spoke with the media at the Ashanti Regional Police Headquarters said his men are still on the heels of the two others who are suspected to be in connection with the murder of the father of two.

In a related development, a popular  Ashtown-based hoodlum who has been identified by police as Mintah, a.k.a ‘Soso’ has been arrested in connection with the murder of the caretaker of the Bantama SDA Church in broad daylight of Tuesday, June 30, 2020.

Mark Amofah was returning from the bank in the afternoon when the assailants on two unregistered motorbikes attacked him.

DCOP Mensah-Duku advised resident and especially taxi drivers, to be weary of criminals who employ dubious means to foment trouble and snatching of cars.
