21.03.2013 LISTEN

The Tema Police have arrested two people in connection with the death of a 25 year old Dutch lady who was shot and killed by armed robbers on motorbikes early this month at the Michelle Camp area in Tema.

The lady was part of four Romanian and four Dutch students who were in the country to conduct a research on Child labour.

The four robbers attacked the students, robbed them of some personal effects and shot indiscriminately into the car in which they were driving.

One of the students was hit by the bullets and was rushed to the hospital but died later.

Tema Regional Police commander, DCOP Maxwell Atinga said other suspects are being pursued.

“We assure the public that we are not going to leave the matter like that. We are going to pursue the other two and get them arrested. Wherever they are we are going to smoke them out,” he said.

He also stated that the police have intensified patrols and intelligence gathering aimed at giving the citizenry the maximum security they need.
