The Dispatch reports that there are credible indications that four army officers who were arrested and detained in connection with the August 12, 2000 shooting incident at the Next Door beach resort at Teshie may be freed.

This reportedly, follows the decision of the Attorney-General's Department that no case had been established against the four.

The shooting incident led to the untimely death of a 36-year old bio-chemist and Project Manager, Edmund Ayeh.

The four are Capt. Asare and Lieutenants Lorkpa, Sasu and Annor. A fifth suspect, Lt Parish, was found dead in some bushes shortly after the incident, allegedly through suicide.

The late Ayeh and some friends were relaxing at 'Next Door' when a misunderstanding occurred between a group of young men and one of the bar attendants. The young men left and allegedly returned later and started firing gunshots in which Ayeh was hit.

Sources close to the military told the Dispatch that with the advice from the Attorney General's Department, "the suspects would be freed."
