Police investigate alleged murder of couple at Saki
Tema Regional Police Command is investigating the alleged murder of a couple on Friday, May 1, 2026, at Saki in the Kpone Electoral Area. A suspected acquaintance of the male victim has been identified as a person of interest. The victims are Ebenezer Kwabena Obiri, 47, and his wife, Mary Anim, 35, who had five children between them.
Mr. Isaac Newton, Assembly Member for the Nmlitsakpo Electoral Area in Kpone Katamanso, said he received a distress call on May 1 regarding the incident. Co-tenants reported that the couple was last seen on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at their residence at Immigration House. The bodies were discovered in separate locations within the apartment, bearing severe cutlass wounds, and the scene showed clear signs of a struggle. The assailant reportedly spared the couple's three-year-old child, who is traumatised. Mr. Isaac Darko, relative of the deceased, said that on April 29, at about 1133 hours, Obiri called him and later handed the phone to a man identified as Prince, described as a friend and a soldier. Prince claimed he had been transferred to Tamale and would leave for his new post on Friday, although it was later discovered that he had been dismissed from the military. Subsequent checks with one Iddrisu, a business partner of the deceased, revealed that Obiri had kept GH¢100,000.00 in the apartment for a business transaction. Mr. Darko said, "We are very devastated by this tragedy. Kobby was such a great human being and we can't understand why anyone would want to harm him, let alone kill him ."
