Two persons in connection with the murder of Eric Obeng Darko, former headmaster of Dampong Senior High School, in the Ashanti Region have been arrested.
The suspects, Mubarak Mohammed (38) and Prophetess Elizabeth Darkwah (48), were arrested on 9th and 17th June, respectively, and were put before district court, Kodie and Suame respectively.
Preliminary investigation indicates that, in the year 2024, Prophetess Elizabeth Darkwah collected an unknown amount of money from the deceased under the pretext of unearthing an ancient family gold for him.
As part of the arrangement,Prophetess Elizabeth Darkwah went to the deceased's house at Bampenase near Mamponteng at night with Mubarak Mohammed and dug out some 20 pieces of yellowish substances, which she claimed were gold that needed to be purified at her church premises before use or sale.
Prophetess Elizabeth Darkwah, however, evaded all attempts by the deceased to meet with her for the purification of the said gold.
Elizabeth Darkwah later engaged suspect Mubarak Mohammed and three other suspects who are currently at large to abduct and kill the victim before he could arrive at her church for the said purification.
Consequently, the deceased was captured and sent to Aboabugya, and when he attempted to escape, he was knocked down and run over by a Honda Odyssey vehicle that was driven by Suspect Mubarak Mohammed.
The two accused persons have since been remanded into police custody to reappear before the court on July 4.
Also, efforts are underway to get the remaining suspects arrested.
