In his bail application, counsel for the suspects, Francis Polley argued that "the offence was bailable and that suspects cannot interfere in investigations".

Two of the suspects, Alex Owusu alias Gunta,and Wadoski were among a gang of four allegedly hired by the constituency organizer,Obeng Manu to perpetuate the crime.

Alex Owusu mentioned the names of Tanko,Mafia and Wadoski as his accomplices.

According to the new Juaben district police commander, Chief Superintendent Cosmos Alan Anyan, Wadoski after his arrest named Obeng Many and Justice Peter Afful alias Oboo Yankey as masterminds of crime.

He however denied the claim.
