The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has arrested two men in connection with the robbery and murder of a 20-year-old man, Kofi Mensah, at Tweapease-Aboo in the Ashanti Region.

The suspects, Solomon Opoku and Collins Aboagye, were picked up following sustained intelligence-led operations conducted by the police.

According to a police report, the case was first lodged with the Bediem District Police Command on October 6, 2025, by the Assembly Member for the area, after the victim was attacked, killed, and his Haojin motorbike stolen.

Following thorough investigations, suspect Solomon Opoku was arrested on October 10, 2025, at Council Quarters in Obuasi when he attempted to sell the stolen motorbike.

His arrest led police to his accomplice, Collins Aboagye, who was apprehended at Kokotesua, another suburb of Obuasi.

Both suspects have confessed to the crime, and the stolen motorbike has been retrieved as evidence.

The two are currently in police custody and are expected to be arraigned before court on Monday, October 13, 2025.
