The man suspected to have murdered a farmer at Assin Kushea in the Central region has been arrested by the Bekwai Police in the Ashanti Region.
Yaw Nkansah, 35, was arrested on a Kumasi-bound bus.
Two natives of Assin Kushea, Ali and Abu spotted Yaw Nkansah, who had gone missing after allegedly butchering the farmer on his farm on Saturday, at the back seat of a vehicle.
Ali and Abu were said to be heading to Kumasi to buy a television.
According to Splash FM’s Alfred Amoh, “the suspected murderer was seen occupying the back seat of the vehicle.
“And when they spotted him, they told the driver they would like to urinate. It was in the process that they informed the driver that the man at the back seat was a wanted man in Assin Kushea for allegedly killing a farmer. The driver agreed and drove the vehicle to Bekwai Police station where he was handed over to the Police,” he reported.
The Bekwai Police, after arresting him, transferred him to Assin Fosu Police which took his statement.
“He told the police in Assin Fosu that he was en route to Bishop Daniel Obinim’s Church in Kumasi to go and confess his sins to the man of God who could pray to God to forgive him.”
Residents of Assin Kushea, upon learning of his arrest, rushed to the Assin Fosu Police Station in their numbers, and the development forced the police to transfer him to Cape Coast, the regional capital.
Yaw Nkansah, 35, was said to have butchered 50-year-old Kwame Amissah on his farm after the later caught him stealing from his farm.
