A police Inspector with the Special Weapons and Tactics Unit (SWAT) has been convicted to life imprisonment for the murder of his girlfriend at Adum in Kumasi.
A Kumasi High Court found Inspector Ahmed Twumasi, known as Tycoon, guilty by a 5-2 jury verdict on Friday, October 24, 2025.
He initially pleaded not guilty when he first appeared before the same court on July 26, 2023.
He has been accused of shooting 26-year-old Victoria Dapaah, also known as Maadwoa, a mother of one, multiple times in the abdomen and chest on April 20, 2023, at about 9:50 p.m. at Adum.
An uncle of the deceased later reported the incident to the police whilst the deceased was sent to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for treatment.
A medical officer on duty pronounced her dead on the same night.
A specialized police operation led to the arrest of the accused in his hideout at Sekyere near Effiduase in the Ashanti region.
