The Ghana Police Service has arrested two suspects in connection with the murder of a female tricycle rider and the theft of her tricycle at Afrancho, near Konkoli, in the Trede District of the Bono East Region.
The suspects, identified as Peter Nchor Asadigina, 21, and Mudasel Dramani, 19, were arrested on Friday, October 30, 2026, at Hansua in the Bono East Region following a tip-off.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspects allegedly hired the services of the deceased from Ampabame Lorry Station in Kumasi on October 29, 2026, to transport them to Afrancho.
Upon reaching their destination, they allegedly attacked and killed the rider before making away with her Bajaj tricycle.
The suspects were subsequently arrested while travelling towards Techiman, reportedly intending to relocate and use the stolen tricycle for commercial activities.
A search conducted by the police led to the retrieval of a number plate bearing registration number M-26-AE 2047, eight mobile phones, including an iPhone 12 Pro suspected to belong to the deceased, three SIM cards, an MTN MiFi device, a bunch of keys, two lighters and a jackknife cover.
The body of the deceased has since been deposited at the mortuary for preservation and autopsy.
The two suspects are currently in police custody, assisting with investigations.
The Ghana Police Service has reiterated its commitment to ensuring public safety and bringing perpetrators of crime to justice.
