Kade (E/R), March 6, Ghanadot/GNA - The Police have
intensified their search for three suspected armed robbers
who attacked the Kwaebibirem District Director of Health
Service, Dr. Patrick Amo-Mensah, at his residence last
weekend.
According to Mr Desmond Boampong, Akwatia District Police
Commander, the robbers rode in a red Opel Astra saloon car
at the time of the attack.
He appealed to the public to assist the police with any
information that would help arrest them.
He said the robbers hit Dr Amo-Mensah’s head many times with
a stick causing serious injuries to it and his right eye
after which they left him in a pool of blood.
The victim was rushed to the St. Dominic’s Hospital at
Akwatia and was later referred to the Korle-Bu Teaching
Hospital in Accra.
The District Police Commander said the robbers gagged the
watchman at Dr Amo-Mensah’s residence. They also tied his
hands and legs before breaking the front door with blocks to
enter the house.
The watchman was also taken to hospital as a result of
severe beatings he received from the robbers leading to the
loss of his teeth.
