A 34-year-old man has been arrested for the murder of a 23-year-old woman in Kwadaso, Ashanti Region.
The woman, identified as Dorothy Owusu Annor, also known as Maa Abena, was discovered in an Opel Astra taxi with registration number AS 8575-Y belonging to the suspect near Mighty Jesus Educational Complex in Kwadaso.
Robert Kwabena Boamah, the suspect, fled to Namong near Offinso in the Ashanti Region, where he was later nabbed by the Ghana Police.
“After his arrest, the suspect appeared weak, and upon further questioning, he confessed to attempting to take his own life by drinking a bottle of weedicide.
He was immediately taken to the Abuakwa Polyclinic, where he received treatment and was subsequently discharged,” a press release from the Ghana Police Service read.
Boamah is set to be arraigned before the court of law after confessing to the crime.
