The suspects
The Ghana Police Service has arrested two persons in connection with the death of a US national at Nyinasen near Cape Coast in the Central Region.
The suspects, Wisdom Sete, a Togolese, and Yussif Afrim, were arrested last Friday, April 19, 2024 at Assin Praso for their involvement in the alleged murder of Naomi Jehubiayah
Suspect Wisdom Sete, 35, said to be the fiancé of Naomi Jehubiayah, allegedly conspired with Yussif to kill the 80-year-old, the police said in a statement.
DAILY GUIDE gathered independently that the duo allegedly killed the octogenarian, buried her body and bolted with her two saloon cars.
Wisdom Sete was said to have committed the heinous crime because the woman denied him access to her Toyota Vitz car.
Wisdom and his conspirator, Yusif Afrim, 25, were apprehended while driving away with the woman’s Mini Cooper and Toyota Vitz cars.
The two reportedly provided conflicting responses to queries posed by police officers stationed at a police barrier at Adansi Praso, prompting their arrest by police from the New Edubiase District Police Command in the Ashanti Region.
During interrogation, suspect Wisdom Sete reportedly claimed that on April 18, 2024, around 0920 hours, he used voodoo to kill his fiancée Naomi, an 80-year-old Ghanaian living in America, at her private residence in Nyinasen, Central Region, and buried her body behind her building on April 19, 2024, around 0300 hours.
According to information available to DAILY GUIDE, Wisdom claimed he killed the woman over a misunderstanding that ensued between them.
He explained that Naomi declined to let him have access to the Toyota Vitz saloon car in spite of their pending official marriage ceremony scheduled days ahead.
The police statement also added that, “A search in the Mini Cooper saloon car revealed the deceased’s ASUS laptop, two Samsung handsets, a wrist band with the inscription South Virginia Community College, assorted cloths and cash of 10,000 dinars (Iraq currency).”
It said, “The Jukwa Police in the Central Region, under whose jurisdiction the incident occurred, were contacted and they confirmed receipt of the complaint, however preparing to come for the suspects for further investigations.”
The two suspects, the police statement disclosed, have since been detained while the two saloon cars have been impounded by the New Edubiase Police.
