The Ghana Police Service has arrested two young men suspected of murdering a female tricycle rider at Afrancho, near Konkoli in the Trede District, and stealing her commercial tricycle.
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 police intelligence tip-off.
According to preliminary police investigations, the suspects hired the services of the deceased at Ampabame Lorry Station in Kumasi on October 29, 2026, to transport them to Afrancho. However, upon reaching their destination, they allegedly attacked and killed the rider before escaping with her green Bajaj tricycle.
The two suspects were later apprehended while travelling towards Techiman, where they reportedly intended to relocate and use the stolen tricycle for commercial purposes.
A search conducted after their arrest led to the recovery of several items believed to be connected to the deceased. The recovered property included an iPhone 12 Pro, seven other mobile phones, three SIM cards, an MTN MiFi device and a bunch of keys.
Police also retrieved a vehicle registration number plate bearing M-26-AE 2047, two lighters and a jackknife cover.
Meanwhile, the body of the deceased has been deposited at the mortuary for preservation and autopsy as investigations continue.
The two suspects remain in police custody and are assisting investigators to establish the full circumstances surrounding the alleged murder and theft of the tricycle.
The arrest is part of ongoing police investigations into the killing, as authorities work to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.
