Two grabbed over killings

The Ghanaian Times reports that the Police Criminal Investigations Department (CID) has arrested two key suspects believed to be linked with the serial killings in the country, particularly Accra.

They are currently assisting in investigations to get hold of the real perpetrators of the murders.

The Minister of the Interior, Alhaji Malik Alhassan Yakubu, who disclosed this to the paper on Tuesday, declined to give their identities for security reasons.

The Minister was of the opinion that these suspects may hold the key to halting the menace currently challenging efforts of the security agencies.

He was on an inspection tour of facilities within the Ghana Prisons Service in Accra on Tuesday. Alhaji Yakubu said that investigations into the immediate past activities of the suspects indicated that wherever they stayed, some murder attempts had been reported, some of which had been successful.
