Three Suspects in Custody

The arrests were announced in a press release dated 28th September 2026 and signed by Deputy Superintendent of Police Richmond Mensah, Staff Officer at the Public Affairs Directorate of the Police Headquarters in Accra. According to the statement, the suspects were picked up following investigations by the Missing Persons Unit.

Kyere was reported missing on 22nd September 2026. By then, as it turns out, he had already been dead for a few days.

How It Allegedly Happened

Preliminary investigations, the police say, indicate that Kyere left his home at Kokomlemle in Accra on 19th September 2026 in his Honda Civic and never returned. He was allegedly lured to Tefe's residence at Teshie Agbleza by Adams.

Both Tefe and Adams reportedly confessed and told investigators that Tefe attacked Kyere during a confrontation and hit him with a metallic object. Kyere was injured, then moved to another room, where he was left unattended and later died.

The statement doesn't say what the confrontation was about, or how long Kyere was left in that room before he died. Whether anyone could have saved him with prompt medical care, for instance, is a question the prosecution and defence may well end up fighting over.

The Body and the Kia Morning

According to the police, Kyere's body was carried in a Kia Morning to a spot near the motorway on 20th September 2026, dumped in a bush and set ablaze. The partially burnt body was found at Community 18 on 21st September.

It was not identified until three days later. Kyere's biological mother and an uncle identified the body at the Police Hospital morgue on 24th September 2026.

Obodai, the third suspect, was arrested after further investigations and is being investigated in connection with the disposal of the body. His father's Kia Morning, which police believe was used to move the body, has been impounded. The statement doesn't say whether the father knew what the car was being used for, and there's no suggestion so far that he is a suspect.

An iPhone 12 Sold for GH¢100

The police have also retrieved Kyere's iPhone 12, which Tefe allegedly sold for GH¢100.00. The buyer, Sunday Omeje, has been cautioned and detained for dishonestly receiving the phone.

That price is hard to ignore. A used iPhone 12 would normally sell for several thousand cedis in Accra, and anyone familiar with the phone market, which Kyere himself was part of at Circle, would know that. It may be the reason the police are treating the purchase as more than an innocent bargain, although Omeje has not been charged with any role in the killing itself.

All three suspects remain in police custody and will be put before the court, according to the statement. The police added that investigations are continuing to identify and arrest anyone else who may have been involved, which suggests they don't believe the full picture is in yet.

In Ghana, murder cases are usually sent to the Office of the Attorney-General for advice before prosecution, so it could be some time before a trial begins
