Emmanuel Donkoh, a 36-year-old hunter, has been detained following his confession to shooting his friend, Kwaku Aboagye, 57, also known as Accra Bread.

The incident, which took place in Assin Seidukrom in the Assin South District of the Central Region, has left the community stunned. Aboagye had been reported missing since January 2024.

On January 26, 2024, during a hunting trip, Aboagye disappeared. Donkoh, who was with him, initially claimed ignorance about his friend's disappearance. However, after more than six months, he admitted to killing Aboagye during the hunt.

Donkoh revealed that the incident occurred in the Kakum Forest Reserve, within the Assin Seidukrom area.

Following his confession, police investigators, led by Detective Corporal Nii Armah Ashitey, located where Donkoh had buried Aboagye's remains.

The police discovered Aboagye’s skeletal remains, identifiable by his clothing: Wellington boots, a black T-shirt, and black trousers.

The motive for the killing remains unclear, and the police are currently investigating the circumstances of the tragic event.

According to Agyadu Barima on Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, Donkoh and Aboagye were close friends who did everything together.

On the day of the incident, Donkoh swore on the Bible and other deities that Aboagye had received a call and left for home.

"But after several months, it remains unclear what happened when the suspect started shouting that he wanted to confess.

Residents were surprised and wondered what was happening, so they drew closer to him.

"He then asked them to invite the police over because he had a confession to make.

The police were invited, and when they arrived, Emmanuel confessed that he was the one who shot and killed his friend.

"He confessed that his friend switched on a radio, and so he (the suspect) asked him (the deceased) to turn the radio off since that could get them arrested.

However, the deceased pulled a knife on him, and because he did not have a knife, he pulled his gun and allegedly shot him. That was what he told the police."

The reporter added that the police used a shovel to retrieve the remains of the deceased.
