The five suspects in connection with the murder of the policewoman in Tamale last week will make their first appearance in a court in the Northern Regional capital today.
One of the suspects will appear with an injury he sustained during an operation to arrest him and his accomplices.
He is said to have been shot at by one of the law enforcement officers in the evening of last Thursday when they were being rounded up.
The operation has been regarded as successful after the suspects were arrested soon upon the deployment of a multi-unit Police Headquarters team comprising personnel from the Criminal Investigations, National Operations Department and the Northern Regional Police Command.
Earlier, a bounty of GH¢10,000 was announced for information that would lead to the arrest of the suspects; it is unknown though whether the success of the police operation was as a result of a tip-off by a whistleblower.
DAILY GUIDE has learnt about telltale items retrieved from the suspects. Among them were camouflage uniforms which the suspects were said to have donned when they got to the checkpoint and fatally shot the policewoman.
The exhibits were found in a room belonging to one of the suspects.
The acting Inspector General of Police should be heaving a sigh of relief after his promise of the arrest of the suspects has come to pass sooner than later.
The family head of the murdered policewoman, Charles Mark, has entreated the police to ensure that the suspects face prosecution.
The policewoman left behind three children aged seven, five and two. The family head has appealed to the Police Administration to emphasise the welfare of the children.
The swiftness with which the police have laid hands on the suspects has prompted questions about how they were able to achieve the feat.
