The police grabbed Kwame Teiku Baah Mensah, 47, his wife, Vernice Kyeremaah, and Rose Cobbah, at their hideout in Berekum, in the Bono Region, following the death of Dawson, a television set repairer, who resided at Kaemebre Downtown in Kasoa.
The wife of the deceased, Grace Dawson, said in an interview with the Ghanaian Times, that her husband was arrested by some people wearing Community Police uniform (Assistant Polices), under the guise of taking him to a police station in Nyanyano Kakraba over a complaint filed against him.
