Investigations are intensifying in the Ashanti Region after the discovery of the body of an Indian national, Mr. Devendra Singh, in a vehicle parked on the outskirts of Sabin Akrofuom.
The Ghana Police Service has confirmed the arrest of one suspect in connection with the case, while additional intelligence officers and homicide investigators have been deployed to support ongoing inquiries.
According to the Ashanti Regional Police Command, the deceased had earlier been reported missing, prompting a coordinated search operation before his vehicle was eventually traced near the Royal Lemosey Hospital area.
A statement issued by the Command and signed by DSP Godwin Ahianyo indicated that officers who arrived at the scene found the vehicle parked by the roadside. A search of the car revealed the victim’s body in the boot with multiple stab wounds.
The body has since been transported to the morgue at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for preservation and autopsy to assist with investigations.
The vehicle involved has also been impounded as part of evidence collection, while forensic teams processed the crime scene.
Police say the arrested suspect is assisting with investigations as efforts continue to identify and apprehend others believed to be connected to the crime.
Authorities have assured the public that every effort is being made to bring those responsible to justice and have appealed for information that may assist in resolving the case.
