Police in Kuntenase in the Ashanti region have picked up suspect Rashid Ibrahim for the cold-blooded murder of Israel Agyei Manu, headteacher of Rogel Montessori Basic School at Atonsu Kumasi and owner/driver of the Bolt service Toyota Vitz vehicle with registration number GE 3170-21.

The suspect who initially gave an untenable alibi to Police later confessed to committing the crime and led police to retrieve the machete which he allegedly used to behead the deceased at Feyiase New Site on 4th July 2021. The suspect is in Police custody pending arraignment before Court.

Police commend community members who volunteered their observation of the movement of neighbours and strangers alike to the Police, leading to the arrest. Police assure them of the strictest confidentiality and appeals to such informants to desist from blowing their cover by bragging about such exploits.”
