In the course of their investigations, the police have discovered that the military officer who passed away in Ashaiman was stabbed in the arm after he struggled with the individuals who were trying to rob him of some valuables.
Imoro Sherrif, the deceased officer, allegedly resisted when his attackers tried to take his phone and backpack, which led one of them to pull a knife and stab him. This is according to the police.
The robbers took his phone and fled, leaving the deceased with the knife stuck in his arm.
“Investigations further revealed that on 3rd March 2023, the deceased had visited a female friend at Ashaiman Newtown at about 10:30pm and left the place in the middle of the night at about 01:30am on the 4th of March 2023”, the police statement read in parts.
Following an autopsy, pathologists determined that the primary causes of death were exsanguination and laceration of major vessels in the left arm, both of which are consistent with being stabbed.
These were contained in a police statement informing the public of the murder after its intelligence-based activities led to the arrest of six key individuals.
The Crime Scene Team found a backpack and a knife that was covered in blood.

Police found several items inside the backpack, including a Samsung tablet, an Apple laptop, a military uniform with the name tag “Imoro,” eight additional pieces of clothing, a Ghana card, and a Health Insurance card bearing the name Imoro Sherrif.
Further investigations also showed that the primary suspects sold the phone to a person who later sold it to a different person who is now being evasive about the location of the phone by claiming to have resold it to someone else who also claims to have sold it to someone else.
The detained suspects are assisting the police in their efforts to retrieve the phone.
All six suspects will be arraigned today, Monday, March 13, 2023.
