Two suspects arrested in connection with murder of seamstress at Twifo Praso 

The police have arrested two suspects in the murder of 21-year-old seamstress Tahiru Zenabu.

Her body was found in her room at Kokoase, Twifo Praso, on April 3, 2025.

The suspects are Richard Armah, a 28-year-old mechanic, and Isaac Arhin, also known as “Fresh DJ,” a 24-year-old spinner. Both live in Twifo Praso.

DCOP Abraham Acquaye, the Central North Regional Police Commander, shared details about the case. He said Armah had shown romantic interest in Ms. Tahiru, which she rejected.

Armah confided in Arhin. Arhin then introduced him to a spiritualist for a ritual to win her affection.

When the ritual failed, they allegedly went to Zenabu’s home. They reportedly sexually assaulted and murdered her.

Afterward, they took her mobile phone and gave it to Armah for safekeeping. The police tracked the phone and arrested him.

During questioning, Armah implicated Arhin, leading to his arrest as well.

Both suspects will be arraigned in court as investigations continue.

DCOP Acquaye urged residents to remain calm and assured them that investigations are progressing. He also asked for public assistance with information related to the case.

Zenabu was found dead with a cloth around her neck and blood on her hands. Investigators discovered a super glue container, a used condom wrapper, and an apple at the scene.

Her body has been sent to the Twifo Praso Government Hospital mortuary for preservation and autopsy.

The community is shocked by this incident but appreciates the swift action of the Central North Regional Police Command.
