“He was arrested and as he was transported, the deceased fell from the car and had injured his head,” he updated.

ASP further narrated that the suspect was taken to the Gary Marvin Hospital at Kotwi for treatment but due to the serious nature of the accident, he was transferred to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) where he met his sudden death.

“The report of the officers and the family are contradicting therefore the Regional Commander has employed investigators on the case,” he assured.
