Five Arrested over Murder of Civilian Burma Camp Employee
Five suspects have been arrested by the Eastern Regional Police Command following the alleged murder of a civilian employee at Burma Camp, Kwadwo Yeboah, who was reported missing at Ahyia Yeboah, near Sokode-Juaso in the Abuakwa North Municipality.
Police have also launched a manhunt for one other suspect who is currently at large in connection with the incident.
Mr Yeboah was last seen on November 16, 2025, after travelling to Foforfo to retrieve a mobile phone.
His disappearance triggered days of search until a community rescue team discovered his body in the Bediasi River on November 25.
The shocking development sparked anger among residents, leading to the burning of three houses before officers from the Ghana National Fire Service intervened to restore calm.
Police later deployed a pathologist to aid in the professional retrieval and examination of the remains.
Upon assessment, the pathologist confirmed that the body had been severely dismembered, with some parts already in an advanced state of decomposition.
Given the condition of the remains, authorities released the body to the family for immediate burial in line with public health and safety protocols.
Meanwhile, the Eastern Regional Police Command says investigations are ongoing to establish the full circumstances surrounding the killing and to ensure that all those involved are brought to justice.
Some community members who spoke to the media have called on the police to expedite their investigations and bring the perpetrators to book.
