George and Irene Atuguba were killed in their house
The Ghana Police Service has arrested a 47-year-old woman in connection with the killing of two people at NTHC Estate, Sakumono.
The arrested suspect, identified as Beatrice Mumuni, is believed to have led the principal suspect, Samuel Christopher Osei Anto, to the residence of the deceased before the murders on Friday, October 30, 2026.
The victims have been identified as George Atuguba, 57, and his 47-year-old niece, Irene Atuguba.

What we know so far on the gruesome murder of the Atugubas
The development follows preliminary police findings that the killings may have been triggered by a financial dispute involving an alleged GH¢500,000 debt owed by George Atuguba.
According to earlier police accounts, Osei Anto reportedly visited the victims’ residence with Mumuni to demand repayment of the money.
A misunderstanding allegedly ensued, during which the suspect reportedly shot and killed the couple.
The victims were rushed to hospital but were pronounced dead by a medical officer. Their bodies were subsequently deposited at the Police Hospital Mortuary for preservation and autopsy.
Meanwhile, the Police are offering GH¢100,000 to anyone who provides credible information leading to Osei Anto’s arrest.
