The deceased, Felix Tetteh Batcha according to the Police was shot by assailants around Bampo Hotel, Tema, on Monday, April 25, 2022.
Preliminary investigations have revealed that at 2pm on the day of the incident, the deceased received a call from a man who expressed an interest in buying one of the cars he was selling.
The prospective buyer introduced himself as a doctor at the Community 22 Polyclinic.
When the car dealer arrived at the Polyclinic, the supposed doctor claimed he was busy at the surgical theatre and therefore sent one of his boys to go on a test drive with the deceased and his friend who had accompanied him.
When they got to a spot around Bampo Hotel, the test driver stopped the vehicle and got down under the pretext of making a phone call.
Some minutes later, three men emerged on a motorbike, attempted to forcibly collect the ignition key from the deceased, and in the ensuing struggle, shot him.
Through the efforts of the Police, the car has been retrieved with the anti-robbery task force assigned to the case to ensure the perpetrators are arrested.
“We wish to assure the public that those involved in the crime can run but can never hide.
“We will do whatever it takes to get them arrested to face justice,” a Police statement signed by C/INSPR. Stella Dede Dzakpasu has said.
