Police in Ghana have arrested two young men in connection with the murder of a female tricycle rider at Afrancho, near Konkoli, in the Trede District, just a day after she was allegedly attacked and her tricycle stolen.
The suspects, Peter Nchor Asadigina, 21, and Mudasel Dramani, 19, were taken into custody on Friday, October 30, 2026, at Hansua in the Bono East Region following a tip‑off.
Preliminary investigations suggest the men hired the rider’s services at the Ampabame Lorry Station in Kumasi on October 29, 2026, to transport them to Afrancho. Upon arrival, they allegedly attacked and killed her before fleeing with her green Bajaj tricycle.
They were caught while travelling toward Techiman, reportedly planning to relocate and use the stolen tricycle for commercial activities. A search of their vehicle yielded an iPhone 12 Pro, seven other mobile phones, three SIM cards, an MTN MiFi device, keys, a number plate (M‑26‑AE 2047), two lighters and a jackknife cover.
The victim’s body has been deposited at the mortuary for preservation and autopsy as investigations continue. The suspects remain in police custody and are cooperating with the inquiry into the full circumstances of the killing.
