The Ghana Police Service has made significant progress in the investigation into the brutal murder of Indian businessman Sain Devendra Kumar. The recent arrest of three additional suspects brings the total number of individuals in custody closer to those believed to be responsible for the heinous crime, which saw Mr. Kumar discovered with multiple stab wounds in his abandoned vehicle.
According to DCOP Grace Ansah-Akrofi, Director-General of Public Affairs for the Ghana Police Service, the latest arrests were the result of diligent intelligence-led operations in Kumasi. The investigation has revealed a disturbing level of premeditation, including the tampering of CCTV servers at the deceased's workplace to obstruct the investigation. The recovery of the victim's high-end mobile phones further solidifies the link between the arrested individuals and the crime.
While the police continue their pursuit of the remaining suspects, including two foreign nationals, the successful apprehension of those involved underscores the commitment of the Ghanaian security forces to ensuring justice. The separate, but concurrent, arrest of a suspect in a violent highway robbery case also highlights the ongoing efforts to combat crime across the region. The police assure the public that all efforts are being made to bring all perpetrators to justice and restore a sense of security.
The suspect further disclosed that he had taken possession of the deceasedโs iPhone 17 Pro Max and Tecno mobile phones and later gave the iPhone 17 Pro Max to suspect Osman Moro at Kaase and the Tecno mobile phone to suspect Moro Sule, alias Moro
