The seven persons suspected to be involved in the murder of an army captain have been remanded in police custody.
The seven were arraigned Thursday morning at a Magistrate Court in Cape Coast where police prosecutors, led by ASP Avornyo, prayed the court to remand the accused persons to appear again on Monday June 19 as thorough investigations into the gruesome murder continue.
Counsel for the accused, George Bernard Shaw, did not oppose the request by the prosecution.
Captain Maxwell Adam Mahama was lynched by irate youth of Denkyira Obuasi on suspicion that he was an armed robber after a group of people he asked for direction spotted a gun on him.
The seven suspects were arrested by a joint military and police taskforce deployed to the area on Tuesday to find the killers of the late captain.
