The Ghana Police Service has arrested two (2) suspects in connection with the murder of a Lebanese national, which occurred on Friday, 20th June 2025, at the victim’s residence at East Legon, Accra.
The deceased, identified as Mr. Omar Mikati, aged 58, was found lying in a pool of blood with a deep cut to his throat. A team from the Crime Scene Management Unit (CSMU) at the Police Headquarters was promptly dispatched to collect relevant forensic evidence to support the investigation.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the perpetrator(s) fled the scene with the deceased’s Samsung mobile phone, leaving behind other items, including two iPhones and a GCB ATM card bearing the name Paul Twumasi Ankrah. The body of the deceased was conveyed to the morgue for preservation and autopsy.
Subsequent investigations led to the arrest of suspect Paul Twumasi Ankrah at Samsam Medie, who implicated his accomplice, one Asiedu Henning, alias Nana Kofi Anum.
On 2nd July 2025, suspect Asiedu Henning was arrested in an intelligence-led operation at his hideout in Kutunse. He led police to a location where the CSMU team processed the scene and retrieved a knife that had been disposed of by the suspects. The exhibit knife is being processed for forensic analysis.
Both accused persons were put before the Adabraka District Court 1, where they have been remanded into Police custody to reappear on Tuesday, 8th July 2025.
