A 72-year-old man, Samuel Christopher Osei Anto, arrested in Ashanti Region, is linked to the murders of Irene and George Atubiga in Sakumono, Greater Accra Region. The suspect was apprehended at his hideout in Tikrom, near Ejisu, on November 1. During the operation, police recovered a Smith & Wesson pistol and seven rounds of live ammunition from him.
The killings occurred on October 30 at the Atubiga residence in Sakumono, reportedly due to a debt dispute where the suspect borrowed GH¢500,000 from George but failed to repay. The suspect, along with a woman named Beatrice Mumuni, visited the victims' home to demand repayment, leading to a misunderstanding and the fatal shooting of both Irene, 47, and George, 57. The suspect remains in police custody, contributing to the ongoing investigation.
