On Sunday, it was gathered, Ernest Kofi Yeboah allegedly asked Mavis to accompany him to a nearby town to visit a friend which Mavis obliged.

Our source indicated that after killing his girlfriend, Yeboah called his friend on phone to inform the crime he has committed and his decision to end his own life.
Sensing danger, he decided to commit suicide.
According to the source, Yeboah’s friend after the phone call mobilised some youth but arrived at the scene only to meet the lifeless bodies of the two lovers.
At the time of filing this report, the bodies had been buried after the incident was reported to the police at Bibiani.
