Criminal investigations in Ghana

Overview

Police in Ghana are investigating separate incidents of fatal violence. In Accra, authorities are investigating the death of 33-year-old businessman Enoch Abrokwa, who died following an alleged stabbing at his business premises. Preliminary investigations suggest a disagreement with his girlfriend, Emmanuella Asante, escalated into a confrontation where she allegedly attacked him with broken glass. Asante was arrested and is scheduled to appear in court.

In the Central Region, police are processing a suspect, Yaw Forest, following the death of 31-year-old Kofi Amankwa. Amankwa reportedly died after being tied to a pole and beaten at Assin Akrofuom. While the victim's sister alleged the assault followed accusations of stealing coconut seedlings, the suspect claimed he confronted Amankwa for allegedly stealing cocoa beans.
