The Central North Regional Police Command has arrested two men in connection with the murder of 34-year-old Tahiru Zenabu at Kokoase, a suburb of Twifo Praso in the Central Region.
Their arrest was made thanks to a critical clue—the use of the victim’s mobile phone.
Zenabu was found dead in her room on April 3, 2025, with a cloth tied around her neck and blood stains on her hands, pointing to a possible struggle before her death.
Following a month-long investigation, police made a breakthrough on May 5 when one of the suspects, Richard Armah, a mobile phone repairer and spinner residing in Twifo Aboabo, used the deceased’s phone to contact one of her friends.
The friend, recognizing the phone number, immediately reported the suspicious activity to the police.
Acting swiftly, police traced and arrested Richard Armah, who, during interrogation, mentioned one Isaac Arhin as his accomplice.
Arhin was also arrested shortly afterward.
The deceased’s mobile phone has since been recovered and is now in police custody as evidence.
Both suspects were arraigned before the court on May 7, 2025, and have been remanded into police custody to reappear on May 21, 2025, as investigations continue.
Police have commended the community for their cooperation and the prompt action of the victim’s friend, which played a crucial role in tracking down the suspects.
