According to Sgt Ettie, the Police proceeded to the scene with the security man and retrieved the body, which was later identified as Nii Oshimpo Darko.
The body was deposited at the Police hospital morgue for autopsy and initial Police investigation revealed that the three suspects allegedly shot and killed Nii Darko and injured the other three during the attack.
