The Berekum Circuit Court, presided over by His Honour Mr Osei Kofi Amoako, has remanded Emmanuel Yeboah into police custody over charges of attempted murder and causing harm.

The suspect was arrested on January 3, 2026, by the Bono Regional Police Command following a violent attack in which two people sustained multiple injuries.

Preliminary police investigations indicate that Emmanuel Yeboah allegedly ambushed his brother and his brother’s wife while they were on their way to a disputed cashew farm. The attack is believed to have been triggered by a long-standing disagreement over the ownership of the farm.

Police retrieved a cutlass, believed to have been used in the assault, as an exhibit. The two victims are currently on admission at a health facility, where they are receiving medical treatment.

Emmanuel Yeboah is expected to reappear before the Berekum Circuit Court on January 12, 2026, as investigations and legal proceedings continue.
