The Central Regional Police Command has arrested Joshua Karry Arthur in connection with the murder of a Senior Lecturer from the University of Education, Winneba.

The body was recovered and deposited at the morgue for preservation and autopsy.
Items retrieved from the suspect include two Samsung phones, a laptop, a 50-inch television, and a car key to a Toyota Fortuner, all confirmed to be the property of the deceased.
The suspect is currently in police custody, assisting with investigations, and will be arraigned before court.
