The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has arrested two men suspected of being behind the robbery and murder of a 20-year-old man, Kofi Mensah, at Tweapease-Aboo in the Ashanti Region.
The suspects, Solomon Opoku and Collins Aboagye, were arrested following sustained intelligence-led operations. Their arrest came after the Assembly Member for the area reported to the Bediem District Police Command on October 6, 2025, that the victim had been attacked, killed, and his Haojin motorbike stolen.
Police investigations led to the arrest of Solomon Opoku on October 10, 2025, at Council Quarters in Obuasi, where he allegedly attempted to sell the stolen motorbike. Further inquiries led to the arrest of his accomplice, Collins Aboagye, at Kokotesua, also a suburb of Obuasi.
Both suspects have reportedly confessed to the crime, and the stolen motorbike has been retrieved by police.
The two suspects are currently in police custody and are expected to appear before court on Monday, October 13, 2025.
The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has assured the public of its determination to bring the perpetrators to justice and maintain peace and security across the region.
