The Ashanti Regional Police Command has apprehended 34-year-old Robert Kwabena Boamah in connection with the murder of Dorothy Owusu Annor, a 23-year-old woman whose body was discovered near the Mighty Jesus Educational Complex in Dominase.
Boamah was arrested at a hideout in Namong, near Offinso, on April 23, 2025, following a two-day investigation into the killing.
Authorities responded to a distress call on April 21 after residents reported finding the victim’s body in the Tanoso Electoral area of Kwadaso Municipality. Family members identified the deceased, locally known as Maa Abena, who had sustained multiple stab wounds. Police examining the scene also recovered an abandoned Opel Astra taxi with registration number AS8575-Y, its ignition key still inside.
Investigators traced the vehicle to Boamah, leading to his arrest. During interrogation, he confessed to the crime and admitted attempting suicide by consuming weedicide prior to being detained. He was treated at Abuakwa Polyclinic and later discharged into police custody.
“Efforts are underway to arraign the suspect,” the Ashanti Regional Police stated, reaffirming their commitment to “ensuring justice for victims of violent crime.” The case underscores the critical role of forensic evidence and community cooperation in resolving serious crimes, as authorities intensify efforts to address violence in the region. Police urge residents to report suspicious activities promptly, emphasizing that public vigilance remains vital to curbing criminal incidents.
