Pregnant Woman, Four Others Remanded Over Murder of Mobile Money Vendors in Ashanti Region – GhArticles.com
The Asokwa Circuit Court has remanded five suspects, including a pregnant woman, into police custody over the robbery and murder of two mobile money vendors at Krofrom and Kwadaso in the Ashanti Region.
According to police sources, the pregnant suspect allegedly acted as an informant for the criminal gang, gaining the trust of the victims by posing as a friend before leaking key details that facilitated the fatal attacks.
Both incidents ended in the tragic deaths of the vendors and the theft of large sums of money, sparking public outrage and fear among mobile money operators in the region.
During court proceedings on Wednesday, the woman pleaded for bail, citing her pregnancy and health concerns. However, Her Honour Afia Owusuaa Appiah rejected the request and remanded all five accused persons, citing the gravity of the charges and the need for further investigations.
The case has been adjourned to May 21, 2025, as police work to strengthen their case for prosecution.
