Police in Begoro have launched an intensive manhunt for a local guest house owner, popularly known as “James Bond,” who is accused of murdering his girlfriend at BJ Tech Guest House in Ehiamankyene, Fanteakwa South District.
The victim, known locally as Koryo, was a well-known food vendor at the Ehiamankyene market and reportedly had a child with the suspect, although they did not live together. Family sources said their relationship was secret and strongly disapproved of by her relatives.
The tragic incident occurred on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, when Koryo visited the suspect at his guest house but never returned home. Concerned, her younger brother reportedly peeped through a window at the guest house and found his sister lying in a pool of blood, prompting him to alert their parents.
Police retrieved the body on the evening of Thursday, November 13, 2025, and it has since been taken to Begoro Government Hospital.
Tensions escalated in the community after some angry youths set fire to the suspect’s Apsonic GY9 motorbike and threatened to burn down the guest house.
John Kwame Narh, Deputy Director of NADMO in Fanteakwa South, confirmed the incident and stated that the suspect remains at large. Authorities are urging the public to stay calm while investigations continue.
