The private legal practitioner was shot dead by armed men while journeying with his family from Accra to Jirapa on the Bole-Bamboi Highway in the Savannah Region.

The Savannah Regional Police says it has arrested three suspects over their possible involvement in the murder of lawyer Richard Badombie on Saturday. 

The private legal practitioner was shot dead by armed men while journeying with his family from Accra to Jirapa on the Bole-Bamboi Highway in the Savannah Region.

“After the incident – that was on the Saturday dawn – the Savannah Regional Command moved to the scene and with the help of the intelligence unit in the Region, we’ve been able to round up some three suspects, who we are profiling to see if they are the actual culprits,” Public Relations Officer of the Savannah Regional Police, Inspector Agyekum Owusu told reporters.

He added that the police have a target to arrest about five suspects, and while three have been arrested, efforts are being made to arrest two more suspects. 

“We have a target for about five suspects. Some people commit crimes and leave some traces and with the help of the intelligence unit, we’ve been able to get the traces,” he said.

The family of the deceased who were present at the time of the incident are expected to confirm the identification of the suspects this week.
