The Police in Kumasi has arrested one more person in connection with the alleged murder of Ruth Eshun, a community nurse with the Sewua Health Center.

The Police are yet to disclose the identity of the suspect but that brings the number of arrested persons to two.

On Saturday, some persons set ablaze the crime scene but the Ghana Police Service says that will not affect their investigations.

Ruth Eshun, who is a mother of three, was found dead at a secluded area close to her Ayoum new site residence in the Bosomtwi District.
