Patrick Asare and Mavis Brepor
SUSPECT MAVIS Brepor, an alleged cheating wife, who conspired with her boyfriend, Patrick Asare, to kill her husband, David Gator, were yesterday remanded in police custody to enable the police to conduct further investigations.
The plea of Mavis aka ‘Maa Adwoa’, 27, and Asare, 50, were not taken as the presiding judge, Korkor Achiaw Owusu, remanded them to reappear before the same court on May 21, 2020.
Mavis is married to David Gator, 52, and the couple is blessed with three children at Pamen, near Kwabeng in the Eastern Region.
Unknown to the husband, Mavis had secretly been having an amorous affair with Asare for many years.
At a point, the cheating wife and her boyfriend allegedly planned to eliminate Mavis’ husband, so that they could have their peace and enjoy their intimate relationship.
Unfortunately, they mistakenly called a number of a police officer, whom they thought was the person they were planning to use to kill the husband and that led to their arrests.
ACP Kwaku Buah, the Manhyia Divisional Police Commander, upon receiving a phone call from the ‘wicked’ wife and her boyfriend, who had offered to pay GH¢100,000 to get Gator killed, pretended he was the assassin and followed every step of the accused persons.
With the help of undercover police investigators, ACP Buah told the cheating wife and boyfriend that he lived in Sefwi in the Western North Region.
He constantly talked to the suspects on mobile phone, giving them an assurance that he would easily eliminate Gator for them.
After negotiations on phone, which lasted for about four weeks, had been successfully concluded, the ACP supposed assassin lured Asare to meet him in Kumasi, so that he could lead him to the exact location of Gator in the Eastern Region to kill him.
Asare, who was bent on making sure that Gator was killed, proceeded to Kumasi where he was nabbed. Later on, the suspect led the police to arrest Mavis. In their caution statement, the suspects admitted to conspiring to kill Gator.
