The Upper East Regional Police Command has arrested four suspects in connection with the murder of a couple at Kusanaba in the Zebilla District.
The suspects were arrested at their hideout in Kugre near Garu on June 19, 2026, following investigations into the fatal shooting of 45-year-old Apam Azubilla and his 35-year-old wife, Apam Anomsigna.
According to police sources, preliminary investigations revealed that on June 10, 2026, four armed men stormed the couple’s room and attacked them before opening fire.
Police said Apam Azubilla managed to shout for help during the attack. His brother, Ayubugre Apam, who heard the distress call, rushed to the scene and found the couple lying in pools of blood.
The victims were immediately taken for medical treatment. Apam Anomsigna was pronounced dead on arrival at the Zegoyire Health Centre, while her husband was referred to the Zebilla District Hospital, where he was also pronounced dead.
The Police sources further said examination conducted on the bodies confirmed that both victims sustained gunshot wounds.
The Police sources disclosed that the family members handed over three spent AK-47 ammunition shells recovered from the scene to investigators.
The four suspects remain in police custody and are expected to be arraigned in the coming days.
The Upper East Regional Police Command says investigations into the case are ongoing.
