Collins was arrested over a month ago by the Police on the suspicion of being part of a robbery gang.
He was subsequently transferred to the Central Police Station in Kumasi, as he waited to be prosecuted.
However, the suspect died in the cells, an incident which his family have linked to alleged severe torture he endured at the hands of some Police officers.

Speaking to Accra-based Starr FM, brother of the deceased, Richard Merz, said they suspect he was tortured after finding bruises all over his corpse.
He accused one of the officers of punishing the suspect all the way from Tepa by putting cement blocks on his head.
