The Ghana Police Service has arrested one person in connection with the murder of an Indian national, Devendra Singh, in Kumasi.

Police said the suspect is currently in custody and assisting with investigations.

The deceased had earlier been reported missing, prompting a search by police. On April 25, 2026, at about 2:00 p.m., officers received information that his vehicle had been located at the outskirts of Sabin Akrofuom, near the Royal Lemosey Hospital.

A team dispatched to the scene found the vehicle parked by the roadside. Upon inspection, the body of the deceased was discovered in the boot.

The Ashanti Regional Crime Scene Management Team processed the scene, after which the body was conveyed to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital morgue for preservation and autopsy. The vehicle has been impounded for further investigations.

The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Christian Tetteh Yohuno, has since deployed a special team made up of intelligence officers and homicide investigators to support the Ashanti Regional Police Command in the case and to facilitate the arrest of other suspects.

Police have assured the public that investigations are ongoing and have urged anyone with relevant information to assist.
