FOUR REMANDED ON SUSPICION OF MURDER (BACK PAGE, DEC 9, 2010)

THE Duayaw Nkwanta Magistrate’s Court, presided over by Mr. D. K. Ahiado, has remanded in prison custody four persons suspected to have murdered a 35-year-old mason at Yamfo in the Tano North District in the Brong Ahafo Region.
The suspects, Kofi Kabie, 22, a driver’s mate; Kudjo Eminilbon, 34, a tractor operator; Gyamfi Kyeremeh, 47, a drinking bar operator; and Evans Peprah Tabiri, a 58-year-old road contractor, are alleged to have conspired to murder Kwasi Yeboah, also known as Kwasi Dada.
The body of the deceased, which was found on the outskirts of the town on Thursday, November 12, 2010, had since been buried after autopsy.
The Brong Ahafo Regional Crime Officer, Superintendent of Police, Mr Eric Amoako, who made this known to the Daily Graphic in Sunyani, however, indicated that the police were yet to charge the suspects, who were picked on different occasions after the act.
The crime officer pointed out that Kabie and Eminilbon were the first to be arrested on November 13, 2010 and arraigned at the court on November 15, 2010, while Kyeremeh and Tabiri were picked on November 24 and November 27, 2010 respectively.
They are to reappear on December 21, 2010.
He explained that the police had started investigations into the case and appealed to the public, including the people of Yamfo, to volunteer any relevant information.
Mr Amoako gave the assurance that any such information would be treated with the confidentiality it deserved.
