Police in the Ashanti Region have arrested a 41-year-old woman who contracted a man to kill her business partner in Kumasi.
The suspect, Joyce Antwi, who is a trader and a resident Buokrom Estate, and her intended victim are business partners who trade in plywood at Akwatia Line, a suburb of Kumasi.
Joyce, in October 2015, collected an amount of GHS99,000 from the victim to fund her business with a promise to pay back. The victim in April 2017 approached the suspect and gave her a June 2017 deadline to settle the amount.
According to police, the victim wanted to invest the money in her business since life was becoming difficult for her. The suspect agreed to pay back the money by the stated deadline. On Tuesday, 23rd May, 2017, the suspect approached the complainant and contracted him to murder the victim for a fee of GHS5000.
The complaint agreed to the offer and was given a part payment of GHS2500, promising to provide the balance after the job was executed. On Friday 26th May, 2017, Joyce picked the complainant to the residence of the victim at Buokrom Estate since her husband and children were not present at that time.
The complainant then alerted the police who on Saturday 27th May, 2017 went to the victim's residence and asked her to invite the suspect over. The suspect was arrested two hours later when she showed up.
Addressing a news conference, Ashanti regional police commander DCOP Ken Yeboah said Joyce confessed in her caution statement of contracting the complainant to commit the act.
He said the suspect is in police custody assisting in investigations and will soon be prosecuted.

Praise be to the Lord Jesus Christ Who touched the heart of the would-be assassin. Meanwhile, if the act had been carried out this contractor of murderers would cry the loudest at the funeral, turning her tear-stained face to sympathisers for them to see how she "loved" her friend who was also her business partner Really? So people can be that unbelievably selfish and ungrateful? I hope she cools off for a very long time in prison for conspiracy to commit murder. May you live with your wickness for the rest of your short natural life!
Dangerous woman 👩🏻,she must pay for every innocent soul she have murdered.WITCH
Kkd anyway the money was for one Ashanti lady and she worked for it she didn't ste*l like bus branding and what have you from the state. Do you know how much GHs99,000 equivalent in dollars? Put it in the old cedis and you will understand it more and that was money an Ashanti lady loaned to her friend. ***barred word*** ,work hard and stop hating Ashantis since it is senseless.
LIKE SERIOUSLY, A FRIEND SHOULD HELP YOU AND LATER REWARD HER THIS WAY? WICKED WOMAN. THIS MEANS YOU HAVE BEEN KILLING A LOT OF INNOCENT SOULS. WITCH. GOD WILL PUNISH YOU. I HEAR SAY YOU BE CHURCH LEADER. I PITY YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY, CHURCH LEADERS, FRIENDS.
I am watching one of those Nigerian Movies anaaa. ungrateful being.
@kojo, churches these days are just a place where christian meet,sing and listen to stories and then pay some money and go home. The value of Christianity is no more, its all about prosperity and fashion with expensive cloths worn by church leader and members and what have you bro.
God bless the complainant.There are many greedy guys who for this paltry amount would have committed murder.God richly bless this individual.
SOME WOMEN ARE DANGEROUS
Lucky Dube said "life in the movies" n it happening real , what a dangerous world ? Hmmmmm
what's is happening to Ghana. The news we are hearing these days are alarming!! Is the church changing us at all . Or Sunday upon Sunday we all fill the churches, with our mouths but our hearts are far from being changed. The Evil of greed and the lust of life has seared our conscience , we are gradually becoming like some nations (Id leave unnamed) , without a conscience. All that matters is the car you drive , the mansion you live in and that's all. Hmmm shaking my head
