Ellenda (W/R) Dec. 13 GNA - The Police at Tikobo Number One have arrested Ex- Corporal Kojo Sayi from Ellenda for allegedly shooting one Mr Emmanuel Bordoh and later inflicting several cutlass wounds on his body to kill him at the weekend.

A Police spokesman, who disclosed this to the GNA at Ellenda, said for the past six months, Sayi, aged 40 and Bordoh, 43, from Akuse in the Eastern Region had been at loggerheads for reasons best known to themselves.

The Police said on December five at about 01:30 hours, Sayi armed himself with a shotgun, a hammer and cutlass and went to the house of the deceased and damaged the door. The Police said Sayi later laid ambush in a nearby plantain farm and when Bordoh came out of the room after some time, Sayi shot him in the stomach.

He later inflicted several cutlass wounds on his head killing him. Bordoh's body has been deposited at the Half Assini Government Hospital mortuary for autopsy, while Police investigation continues.

In another development, the Tikobo Number One Police are looking for Mr Blay Ackah of Amondo, near New Kabenlasuazo, for allegedly inflicting several cutlass wounds on the former husband of his wife, Mr Emu Ekyi.

The Police said Mr Ackah suspects Mr Ekyi of still having affairs with his ex-wife now married to him. Mr Ekyi is responding to treatment at the Siloam Clinic at Bonyere Junction. GNA
