Upper East Regional Police Arrest Four Suspects for Zebilla Double Murder

The Upper East Regional Police Command has successfully apprehended four suspects in connection with the cold-blooded murder of a middle-aged couple in the Zebilla District. The suspects were arrested during an intelligence-led raid on June 19, 2026, nine days after the violent attack that claimed the lives of 45-year-old Apam Azubilla and his 35-year-old wife, Apam Anomsigna. The arrests follow a period where the suspects had reportedly gone into hiding after the incident, which occurred on the night of June 10, 2026. Following the initial attack, the Regional Police Command launched an intensive search, culminating in the recent successful operation. Preliminary investigations suggest that the couple was targeted in their home by four armed assailants who broke into their bedroom. During the invasion, the attackers opened fire on the victims, inflicting fatal gunshot wounds. Despite the harrowing nature of the attack, Mr. Azubilla managed to make a distress call to seek assistance. Local residents and emergency responders transported the couple to a nearby health facility; however, both victims ultimately succumbed to their injuries. Forensic teams at the crime scene recovered three spent AK-47 ammunition shells, underscoring the high-powered weaponry used by the perpetrators. The successful capture of the suspects has been attributed to strategic intelligence gathering and a coordinated raid by the regional police force. Authorities have emphasized that the suspects are currently in custody and are being prepared for arraignment as the investigation continues to build a solid case for prosecution. This development marks a significant step in the police’s commitment to addressing violent crime and ensuring justice for the victims and their families in the Upper East Region. The swift action by the command highlights the increasing effectiveness of intelligence-led policing in the area. The Regional Police Command has also taken the opportunity to commend the residents of Zebilla for their cooperation and for providing vital information that led to the arrests. This partnership between the police and the community is seen as a crucial component in the broader effort to maintain peace and security across the district. As the legal proceedings commence, the case serves as a stern warning to criminal elements while offering a measure of closure to a community shaken by this brutal double homicide. Moving forward, the police have assured the public of their continued vigilance and dedication to safety.
