A suspected murderer on the run - Dawda Bah, alias Yanka - who reportedly killed a fellow youngster, Cherno Jagne, fondly called Cher Boy, was arrested, yesterday, at Wellingara Village.

The incident was reported to have happened around Samjack Perseverance junction, between 12:00 am to 01:00 am, in the wee hours of Sunday in Banjul.
