The prosecution said a Kia Rhino truck loaded with sachet water with three persons on board and a driver, three motor riders and their pillion riders also fell victims to the robbery expedition.

It said the town folks upon a tip-off pursued the accused persons with guns and other implements in the bush and arrested Kwabena, Ismael, Richard as well as Agyei and handed them to the police.

The prosecution said during Police Investigations, that Kwabena and Ishmael led Police to the crime scene and retrieved the two single barrel guns, one pump action gun, eleven AAA cartridges, six mobile phones and GHC 443.00.
