The Dambai Magistrate Court has remanded a 36-year-old farmer, Christian Kporfor, into police custody for alleged murder.
Kporfor, a resident of Alavanyo Wudidi, is accused of ambushing, shooting, and killing 33-year-old Daniel Yaw Brempong on his way to his farm.
The incident occurred on August 1, 2023. The complainant, David Agbemenu, who is an Assemblyman for Nkonya Nchumuru, reported the case to the police, leading to an investigation.
The police visited the scene, found the deceased in a pool of blood with gunshot wounds, and subsequently conducted a post-mortem.
The medical doctor’s verbal cause of death was determined as “penetrating chest trauma secondary to possible gunshot injury.”
Investigations revealed that Kporfor, along with other accomplices from Alavanyo Kpeme and Wudidi, ambushed and killed the victim.
Four other accomplices are currently at large. The court remanded Kporfor into custody, and he is scheduled to reappear on January 22, 2024. Investigations are ongoing, with the suspect expected to assist in further inquiries.
