Five Arrested Over Murder of Burma Camp Civilian Employee in Eastern Region

Five suspects have been arrested by the Eastern Regional Police Command in connection with the murder of Kwadwo Yeboah, a civilian employee at Burma Camp, who was reported missing after travelling to retrieve a mobile phone.

Mr. Yeboah was last seen on 16th November 2025 at Ahyia Yeboah near Sokode-Juaso in the Abuakwa North Municipality. Days of intense searching ended on 25th November when a community rescue team discovered his body in the Bediasi River.

The discovery left residents in shock and fear, triggering violent reactions that saw three houses set ablaze before the Ghana National Fire Service intervened to restore calm.

Police deployed a pathologist to examine the remains, which were found severely dismembered and partly decomposed. Due to the condition of the body and in line with public health protocols, authorities released it to the family for immediate burial.

Meanwhile, police have launched a manhunt for one additional suspect who is still at large. The Eastern Regional Police Command says investigations are ongoing to unravel the full circumstances surrounding the killing and ensure all perpetrators are brought to justice.

Community members are urging the police to expedite the investigation to restore peace and provide closure to the family.
