Police have arrested one suspect in connection with the murder of an Indian national in Kumasi, as the Inspector-General of Police has deployed a special team of intelligence and homicide investigators to support ongoing investigations.

The deceased, identified as Devendra Singh, was earlier reported missing, prompting an extensive search operation by the Ghana Police Service.

According to a statement from the Police, the victim’s whereabouts remained unknown until Saturday, 25 April 2026, when officers received a tip-off that led to a breakthrough in the case.

At about 2:00 p.m., police were informed that a vehicle belonging to the missing man had been spotted on the outskirts of Sabin Akrofuom, near the Royal Lemosey Hospital. Officers who rushed to the scene discovered the car parked by the roadside.

A search of the vehicle revealed a disturbing scene: the lifeless body of Devendra Singh was found in the boot, with multiple stab wounds.

The Ashanti Regional Crime Scene Management Team was immediately deployed to process the scene. The body has since been conveyed to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital morgue for preservation and autopsy, while the vehicle has been impounded to support further investigations.

One suspect is currently in custody assisting police with investigations. The Inspector-General of Police has also dispatched a special investigative team to the Ashanti Regional Command to reinforce efforts to identify and arrest all persons connected to the crime.

The Police Service has assured the public of a thorough investigation and urged anyone with relevant information to come forward to assist in bringing the perpetrators to justice.
