Ghanaian police is progressing in the case of the brutal murder of Ahmed Hussein-Suale, a key member of the PI Tiger Eye team led by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.

Up to now, six people suspected of being involved in the murder of the undercover investigative reporter have been arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).

Speaking at a press conference in Kumasi on the case, the Director General of Public Affairs of the ACP, David Senanu Eklu, said: "At the time six suspects have been arrested, interrogated and are currently on bail. "

The suspects were arrested after police questioned people who witnessed the cruel murder of the undercover investigative journalist in Madina, a suburb of Accra, last month.

ACP Eklu said the police had also collected statements from three well-known personalities – the former president of the Ghana Football Federation (GFA), Kwesi Nyantakyi; Anas Aremeyaw Anas, who worked with Ahmed and the deputy of Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong.

The senior police officer said that although the three are not suspicious in the case, they are considered "people of interest to the police" in the ongoing criminal investigations.

"We work day and night, collecting and badyzing fragments of information to help us reach the culprits," he said.

Wanted Cartographers

ACP Eklu further revealed that the police were looking for cartographers who could use the information collected by the investigators to draw pictures of alleged Hussein-Suale badbadins.

According to the police, they reportedly received information about those who allegedly shot Hussein-Suale near his family's home on 16 January and asked experts to draw their pictures.

"Many people have described them (the killers) and we are also trying to get mappers who can give us an artistic impression of their identity to help them identify them. Up to here, it's where we are, "said ACP Eklu.

He congratulated the public for providing information to the police, adding that a lot of information had been gathered, but that it would be necessary to sift through to identify credible information that would effectively prosecute the culprits.

"… Many people have given information, but this information should be checked and cross-checked carefully so that we do not give you false hope.

"Sometimes you stop the person and everyone is happy. It reaches the court and the evidence does not meet the standard required by law, "he added.
