id=\"caption-attachment-4842\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Suspect, Samuel Christopher Osei Anto<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The arrest comes barely two days after the Police declared Osei Anto wanted and announced a GH\u00a2100,000 reward for credible information that would lead to his apprehension.<\/p>\n<p>The reward was announced following the arrest of 47-year-old Beatrice Mumuni, who was picked up in connection with the double murder.<\/p>\n<p>According to preliminary police investigations, Mumuni is believed to have led Osei Anto to the residence of the deceased before the fatal shooting.<\/p>\n<p>The Police had appealed to members of the public with information about the suspect&#8217;s whereabouts to contact the nearest police station or call the emergency numbers 191 and 18555.<\/p>\n<p>His subsequent arrest means investigators can now question him directly about the events that culminated in the deaths of the two relatives.<\/p>\n<h2>Alleged GH\u00a2500,000 debt dispute behind killings<\/h2>\n<p>Preliminary investigations by the Police suggested that the incident may have been triggered by a financial disagreement involving George Atuguba and the principal suspect.<\/p>\n<p>According to the police account, George Atuguba had allegedly borrowed GH\u00a2500,000 from Osei Anto but had failed to repay the money.<\/p>\n<p>On the morning of Friday, October 30, the suspect reportedly visited the victims&#8217; residence at NTHC Estate, Sakumono, accompanied by Beatrice Mumuni, to demand repayment.<\/p>\n<p>A misunderstanding allegedly developed during the encounter, resulting in Osei Anto reportedly shooting George and his niece, Irene.<\/p>\n<p>The two victims sustained gunshot wounds and were rushed to hospital, where they were pronounced dead.<\/p>\n<p>Their bodies were subsequently deposited at the Police Hospital Mortuary for preservation and autopsy.<\/p>\n<p>The alleged debt dispute remains part of the preliminary police account and will require further investigation and evidence to establish the full circumstances.<\/p>\n<h2>Female suspect already in police custody<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aptnewsghana.com\/index.php\/2026\/10\/31\/sakumono-murder-ghc-100000-reward-wanted-suspect\/\">Beatrice Mumuni, 47, was arrested shortly after the incident.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Police suspect that she played a role in facilitating the visit to the victims&#8217; residence before the shootings.<\/p>\n<p>Her arrest preceded the declaration of Osei Anto as a wanted person and the announcement of the GH\u00a2100,000 reward.<\/p>\n<p>With the principal suspect now in custody, investigators are expected to examine the respective roles of the two suspects and establish what transpired before, during and after the shooting.<\/p>\n<h2>What happens next?<\/h2>\n<p>The arrest represents an important development in the investigation, but it does not conclude the criminal proceedings.<\/p>\n<p>The Police are yet to provide comprehensive details about the arrest, including where the suspect was hiding, how investigators tracked him down and whether other persons may have been involved.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators will also need to establish the circumstances surrounding the alleged financial dispute, the events leading to the shooting and the evidence connecting the suspects to the deaths.<\/p>\n<p>The case is expected to attract further public attention as Ghanaians await additional information from the Police.<\/p>\n<p>For now, the major development is that the man who had been declared wanted over the deaths of George Atuguba and Irene Atuguba has been arrested.<\/p>\n<p>APT News Ghana will continue to follow the investigation and provide updates as further official information becomes available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The Ghana Police Service has arrested Samuel Osei Anto Christopher, the principal
