  "summary": "In a recent development, General Corporal Robert Katey Koranteng of the Ghana Police Service has been charged with murder over the death of 20-year-old Central University law student Ivan Apprey Baidoo. The charge was brought on Tuesday, September 15, 2026, and stems from an incident that occurred on August 27, 2026. According to the prosecution, Koranteng intentionally caused Baidoo's death by unlawful harm, in violation of Section 46 of the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29). The incident took place at the UPSA traffic intersection, where the rider, Samuel Wesley Arthur, allegedly went through a red traffic light, leading to a chase and eventual collision with a concrete barrier. Baidoo was pronounced dead at the Tema General Hospital, while the rider survived and was treated and discharged. The Homicide Unit of the Criminal Investigations Department is currently investigating the case, and Koranteng was arrested on September 12.",
