The police then followed in pursuit following which Charles Donkor opened fire on them.

In the ensuing firefight, Charles Donkor “sustained gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead on arrival at the Police Hospital.”

Further intelligence led to the hideout of his accomplices at Dodowaa Bawalashie where another firefight occurred.
