The twin brothers, Atta Kofi and Ebi Wom, have been arrested and remanded into police custody in connection with the death of a 34-year-old man at Sefwi Boinzan in the Juaboso District of the Western North Region.
The suspects have been charged with murder and are expected to reappear before the court on February 9, 2026.
The deceased, identified as Theophilus Gyamfi, popularly known as Kwasi KK, was allegedly assaulted following a confrontation at a river in the community.
According to preliminary information, Gyamfi had gone to wash what was described as “gold” in the river when one of the twins cautioned him to stop, claiming the activity was polluting the water.
An argument reportedly ensued after the deceased refused to comply. The situation escalated when the second twin joined the confrontation, leading to a physical altercation during which Gyamfi was allegedly severely beaten.
He was initially taken home for treatment, but his condition later deteriorated, prompting his family to rush him to the Juaboso Government Hospital. He was, however, pronounced dead on the way.
The suspects are said to have fled the area after the incident but were later arrested by the police to assist with investigations and prosecution.
