A second video evidence depicting the moment Captain Maxwell Adam Mahama came under attack at Denkyira Obuasi last Monday has appeared.
The video, a longer version than what was initially shared on social media, shows the slain Captain Mahama running away from the mob that chased him.
In the melee, a gunshot was heard. Some of the attackers urged others not to allow him [Captain Mahama] to escape.
They pummelled him with stones, sticks and cement blocks till he was unconscious.
A total of seven suspects have been arrested by the police as of now.
They include the assembly member for the area who is said to have mobilised the attackers after a complaint by a food seller said Captain Mahama, who carried a pistol was a suspected armed robber.
