Ghana’s Central East Regional Police have arrested three suspects, including a minor, in the investigation into the alleged murder of Christian Amponsah, a 34-year-old mobile money vendor, in Kasoa. Regional police spokesperson Deputy Superintendent Victor Kofi Dosoo announced the arrests, MyJoyOnline reports.
The suspects are Felicia Osei Appiah, 59, Clement Opoku Yeboah, 24, and a teenage girl. According to police, the manager of a guest house near Kasoa reported that the victim and the minor had booked a room for two hours. Concerned when they did not leave at the agreed time, he reportedly inspected the room and found Christian Amponsah dead, covered with sheets, curtains and a pillow.
The body was transferred to the police hospital mortuary in Accra for preservation and an autopsy. The three suspects are in custody to assist with the investigation, and police plan to bring them before the courts once their inquiries are complete.
