The police have picked up five persons to assist in investigations into the killing of the Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North, Joseph Boakye Danquah on Tuesday dawn.

Graphic Online correspondent at the residence of the late MP, Emelia Enin-Abbey, said those arrested included two women and three men.

She said the Accra regional Police Command PRO, Assistant Superintendent of police, Mrs Afia Tenge, who disclosed this to the media did not disclose the identities of those arrested.

Mr Danquah was stabbed by an unknown assailant (s) at his Shiashie residence in Accra, prompting the police to launch an investigation.

Graphic Online understands that the assailant (s) used a ladder to climb to the MP's bedroom, struggled with him for a while, overpowered and stabbed him.
