A major breakthrough has been made in the investigation into the shocking murder of Mr. Andrews Amankwah, father-in-law of Hon. Sammy Gyamfi, following the arrest of key members of a suspected robbery syndicate in Kumasi.
Security officials have confirmed that four suspects linked to the high-profile killing have been apprehended in a series of intelligence-led operations carried out across Kumasi and its surrounding areas.
