The Ghana Police Service is investigating the murder of two people at NTHC Estate, Sakumono, in the Greater Accra Region, following an alleged financial dispute involving GH¢500,000.
The deceased have been identified as Irene Atuguba, 47, and her uncle, George Atuguba, 57.
According to a police statement issued on Friday, October 30, 2026, officers from the Sakumono District Police Command were dispatched to the residence after receiving information about the incident.
The officers found the bodies of the two victims lying in a pool of blood.
Preliminary police investigations indicate that the incident may have been triggered by a financial dispute involving George Atuguba, who had allegedly borrowed GH¢500,000 from the suspect but failed to repay the amount.
The suspect, identified as Samuel Christopher Osei Anto, reportedly visited the deceased’s residence on the morning of the incident with a woman identified as Beatrice Mumuni to demand repayment.
A misunderstanding allegedly ensued, during which the suspect shot and killed George Atuguba and his niece, Irene Atuguba, the police said.
The two victims were rushed to a hospital, where they were pronounced dead by a medical officer. Their bodies have since been deposited at the Police Hospital Mortuary for preservation and autopsy.
