Police in Begoro have launched a manhunt for a popular guest house owner known as “James Bond,” who is alleged to have murdered his girlfriend at the BJ Tech Guest House in Ehiamankyene in the Fanteakwa South District.
The victim, popularly known as Koryo, was a well-known food vendor at the Ehiamankyene market. She is reported to have a child with the suspect, although the two did not live together.
According to family sources, the relationship was kept secret, and relatives of the victim strongly disapproved of it.
The incident is believed to have occurred on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, when the victim visited the suspect at his guest house and never returned home.
Sources close to Citi News confirmed that the victim’s younger brother, suspecting she had gone to visit her boyfriend, went to the guest house and peeped through a window—only to find his sister lying in a pool of blood.
He immediately alerted their parents.
Police from the Begoro station arrived at the scene on the evening of Thursday, November 13, 2025, to retrieve the body, which has since been taken to the Begoro Government Hospital.
However, tensions escalated when some angry youth set ablaze an Apsonic GY9 motorbike belonging to the suspect, threatening to burn down the entire guest house.
The Deputy Director of NADMO in the Fanteakwa South District, John Kwame Narh, confirmed the incident, adding that the suspect is currently on the run. Police are urging the public to remain calm as investigations continue.
