The Ashanti Regional Police Command has arrested a 34-year-old taxi driver over the alleged murder of his long-time girlfriend at Abuakwa in the Ashanti region.
Robert Kwabena Boamah was arrested at his hideout at Namong in Offinso Municipality on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, three days after he went into hiding.
He is alleged to have picked up the deceased, 23-year-old Dorothy Owusu Annor, also known as Maa Abena, on April 21 in his taxi cab from her family’s house at Abuakwa.
The police say that not long after the two lovebirds had left the deceased’s family house to bake bread, the police received a distress call on the discovery of the body of an unidentified female adult.
According to DSP Godwin Ahianyo, head of the Public Affairs Unit of the Ashanti Regional Police Command, police proceeded to the scene at a spot near Mighty Jesus Educational Complex at Dominase in the Kwadaso Municipality and found the body of the late Dorothy Owusu Annor with multiple stab wounds.
Police also retrieved the mobile phone of the deceased in the suspect’s taxi cab with registration AS8575-Y, with its ignition key still on at the scene.
The suspect, Robert Kwabena Boamah, was later spotted and arrested at his hideout at Namong in Offinso on Wednesday, April 23.
DSP Ahianyo says Boamah, during interrogation, confessed his involvement in the crime and also confessed to attempting to take his own life.
He has since been treated and discharged from the Abuakwa Polyclinic following the attempt on his life.
Police say the suspect, who is currently in police custody, will soon be arraigned.
