I killed and burnt him at UG forest—suspect confesses to killing missing Theophilus

ACCRA, Ghana – In a chilling breakthrough that has devastated the family of 27-year-old Theophilus Ashitey Amarh, the primary suspect has reportedly confessed to the gruesome murder of the young car dealer.

The suspect, identified as Wisdom, was extradited from Togo to Ghana on April 30, 2026, following his arrest by Togolese authorities. Reliable sources close to the investigation indicate that during police interrogation, the suspect admitted to killing Theophilus and disposing of his body in a vehicle within the forest area of the University of Ghana (UG), where he subsequently set the car and the remains ablaze.

The sad reality is that Theo is gone forever, but he has a wife who is carrying his unborn child behind. This is terrible.

The Motive: A Deal Gone Lethal

Preliminary reports suggest that the motive behind the heinous act was the theft of Theophilus’s Hyundai Elantra. While the two were known to be friends, the suspect allegedly revealed that he coveted the vehicle.

The investigation, which tracked the suspect’s movements, corroborated his confession. GPS and signal tracking placed the suspect traveling from Saasabi toward Dzorwulu, a route that aligns with the location of the University of Ghana forest where the body was reportedly burnt.

A Trail of Deception

New details have emerged regarding the suspect’s actions following the crime:

• The Car: After allegedly committing the murder and setting the body on fire, the suspect returned the stolen car to a mutual friend’s residence.
• The Keys: He reportedly left the car with a security officer at the friend’s house before fleeing to Togo.
• The Recovery: The car was eventually returned to the victim’s residence containing Theophilus’s personal effects, including his Ghana Card and driver’s license.

Timeline of a Tragedy

The case, which began when “Theo” vanished on Easter Monday after leaving home to finalize a car sale, has kept the communities of Oyibi and Saasabi on edge for weeks.

A Family in Mourning

For the father of the victim, Mr. Benjamin Bokye Arma, and the entire family, the confession brings a tragic end to weeks of “waking nightmares.” What was initially thought to be a business deal gone sour—with reports of an argument involving a screwdriver—has culminated in a discovery that highlights a staggering level of betrayal.
