TWO persons suspected to be members of a gang, which killed an Obuasi taxi driver and made away with the cab have been arrested and remanded in police custody for further investigations.
Kwabena Minta, 21 a driver and Kofi Owusu, 22 were suspected to be among the group, which killed Isaac Boampong and sped off with the cab.
The two were arrested at Gbawe near Mallam in Accra and later handed over to the Obuasi police. They were arrested upon a tip off while they were using the cab for taxi services.
A police source said Isaac’s cab with registration No AS 3418 Z was chartered by a group of people from Obuasi towards Anhwia Nkwanta on the Obuasi Kumasi highway on June 17, 2008.
However, at the outskirts of the Akrokerri Teacher Training College, the passengers attacked and murdered the driver in cold blood.
The sources said the body was dumped in a nearby bush and was found by a tutor from the college two days after the incident, with severe and deep cuts on the head and bruises all over his body. Also a butcher’s knife was found beside the body.
The case was initially reported as that of a missing person until the body was found and identified by a brother of Isaac, one Yaw Antwi by the attire and shoes he wore before setting out on that journey.
The body was transported to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) for autopsy.
