Nkoranza chaos: Police identified deceased suspect through laptop left at robbery scene

It has emerged that Police officers who had been called to a robbery scene at Nkoranza identified the now deceased suspect Albert Donkor through a laptop he and his alleged gang had left at the crime scene as they fled.

Sources close to the development have told Starrfm.com.gh, the deceased had allegedly returned to the crime scene disguised on a motorbike to pick up the laptop and other weapons left during the robbery.

“He returned to the scene on a motorbike for the laptop and other things they left there but when he got there, he met the Police with the victims on the road. He approached them and said he could help track the suspects since he was from the town and knows a few leads.

“When he left the scene, the police checked on the laptop and found his pictures, phone decoding software and other plots. The victims also confirmed the image with the built of the person they had seen in the robbery who they said was wearing an ash hoody. Through sources in the town, the Police quickly stormed his home around 2am and met him awake. They confronted with the evidence on the laptop upon which he admitted his hoody was white and not ash as claimed by the victims. The Police then whisked him away in the hope of him helping trace the other suspects,” the source told Starr News.

It is however unclear the circumstances leading the death of the suspect.

The Inspector General of Police Dr. George Akuffo Dampare has however sent a high powered Police delegation to the area to probe the events leading to the death of the deceased after speaking to his family.

Relatives of the deceased have rejected claims he was involved in any wrong doing.

Meanwhile, calm has returned to the area after some youth in the town rampaged over the incident. The rioting youth invaded the Nkoranza Police station and freed suspects. The suspects have been rearrested by the Police.
