According to a press release by the Public Relations Unit of the Ghana Police Service Eastern South, DSP David Fianko-Okyere reported that on Sunday, November 16, 2025, the Eastern South Regional Police Command arrested Kwame Arhin, also known as Abompe, a 37-year-old carpenter, at a bush near Kibi Presbyterian College of Education.
The arrest followed a distress call received on Saturday, November 15, 2025, alleging the murder of a man at Kibi Newtown. The police deployed teams of detectives, including the Crime Scene Management team, to the crime scene near the Kibi Court Complex to commence investigations.
At the scene, the police found the body of a male adult identified as Jonas Baah Sarpong. The scene was processed, and the body was removed and deposited at the Kibi Government Hospital morgue before being transferred to the Police Hospital in Accra for preservation and autopsy.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the deceased was a security guard at the Kibi Presbyterian College of Education, where a misunderstanding between him and suspect Kwame Arhin led to the latter slashing the victim’s throat with a cutlass and absconding.
The suspect is in custody and is being processed for court, while investigations are ongoing.
