The Eastern Regional Police Command has arrested five persons in connection with the alleged killing of a civilian employee at Burma Camp, who was reported missing at Ahyia Yeboah, near Sokode-Juaso in the Abuakwa North municipality.
One person who is on the run is also being pursued by the police regarding the killing of Kwadwo Yeboah, that has left Ahyia Yeboah residents in fear.
Yeboah went missing on November 16, 2025, after travelling to Foforfo to retrieve a mobile phone. His disappearance triggered a search for his whereabouts, until a community rescue team discovered his remains in River Bediasi on Tuesday, November 25, 2025.
Three houses belonging to the suspects behind the killing of Mr. Yeboah were set ablaze by the irate youth, until the Ghana National Fire Service intervened to restore calm.
Police later deployed a pathologist to aid in the professional retrieval and examination of the remains.
Upon assessment, the pathologist confirmed that the body had been severely dismembered, with some parts already in an advanced state of decomposition.
In line with public health and safety protocols, the authorities released the remains to the family for immediate burial due to its condition.
The police have assured that measures are in place to ascertain the entire circumstances surrounding the killing, promising that those found culpable would be brought before the law.
