Accra, July 5, GNA – The Adabraka District Court One has remanded two men into police custody following the murder of a Lebanese national at East Legon on June 20, 2025.
The accused, Paul Twumasi Ankrah (39) and Asiedu Henning, alias Nana Kofi Anum (32), had their pleas deferred and are scheduled to reappear in court on July 8.
Police investigations revealed that the victim, Omar Mikati, aged 58, was found in a pool of blood at his residence.
A Crime Scene Management Unit (CSMU) team collected forensic evidence and recovered a GCB ATM card bearing Ankrah’s name, while the victim’s Samsung phone was missing.
Following a tip-off, Ankrah was arrested at Samsam-Medie, and during interrogation, he implicated Henning.
On July 2, Henning was arrested during an intelligence-led operation in Kutunse, where he later led police to a location where a knife was retrieved—allegedly disposed of by the suspects.
Police confirmed the exhibit is undergoing forensic analysis, and Mikati’s body was transferred to the morgue for autopsy.
