Two persons, Richard Armah, a 28-year-old auto mechanic, and Isaac Arhin, a 24-year-old disc jockey also known as Fresh DJ, were remanded in police custody in connection with the murder of 21-year-old seamstress, Zenabu Tahiru, at Twifo Praso in the Central region.
The two appeared before the Twifo Praso District Court on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, for the first time after their arrest on Monday, May 5, 2025.
The courtroom and its surroundings were filled with community members seeking answers and justice for Zenabu’s death.
On April 3, 2025, the lifeless body of Zenabu was discovered with a cloth tied around her neck and bloodstains on her hands in her room at Kokoase, a suburb of Twifo Praso in the Central region.
Investigators also discovered a super glue container, a used condom wrapper, and an apple at the scene.
The Central North Regional Police Commander, DCOP Abraham Acquaye, said preliminary investigations indicated that Armah, an accused, had expressed interest in Zenabu, but she declined the proposal.
Subsequently, DCOP Acquaye said Arhin, a friend of Armah, introduced him to a spiritualist for a ritual intended to win Zenabu’s affection, commonly known as “for girls.”
DCOP Acquaye said that when the ritual failed, Arhin and the spiritualist allegedly visited Zenabu’s residence, sexually assaulted her, and murdered her upon suspecting that she had recognised them.
He said the two, Arhin and the said spiritualist, then took Zenabu’s mobile phone and handed it over to Armah for safekeeping.
DCOP Acquaye said the police tracked Zenabu’s phone, leading to Armah’s arrest. During interrogation, DCOP Acquaye said Armah implicated Arhin, leading to his arrest.
DCOP Acquaye assured residents that investigations were far advanced and urged the public to remain calm. He also appealed for information from the public to aid the ongoing investigation.
