They are: Senyo Anku, 28, a driver; Frank Awudey, 22, student and Albert Nunyuie, 30, a painter.
The suspects allegedly attacked the deceased, Percy Nubuake, who at the time, was in the company of his girl-friend, said to be a former girlfriend of Anku, one of the suspects.
Anku is alleged to have led the other suspects to kill Nubuake to pave way for a reunion between him (Anku) and the lady.
The Ho Municipal Police Commander, Superintendent Nicholas Opare Ofosuhene confirmed the death of Percy Nubuake and the arrest of three suspects currently in custody.
He declined further comments.
A close friend of the deceased, who chose to be identified as Mussey, said the deceased was going to officially propose marriage to the lady that night when the unfortunate incident occurred.
According to Mussey, he had been informed by persons close to the lady at the centre of the crime that when the suspects approached Nubuake and his partner, they subjected Nubuake to a search and found only his phone and the promisory ring he intended giving to the lady.
“Nubuake is said to have then asked the attacker whether he knew him and enquired further whether he could not make him out. Just after, Nubuake was shot dead”, Mussey recounted to the Daily Graphic.
