A shocking detail has emerged in the murder of Circle-based phone dealer Nana Yaw Kyere, popularly known as Dinero, with the Ghana Police Service alleging that one of the suspects sold the deceased’s iPhone 12 for just GH¢100.

The suspect, identified as Philip Dzifa Kofi Tefe, is among three people arrested in connection with the alleged kidnapping and murder of the 33-year-old phone dealer.

According to the police, the victim’s iPhone 12 has since been retrieved, while the individual who allegedly purchased the phone has also been arrested.
