The married woman Mavis Brepor conspired with her lover, identified as Patrick Asare, aged, 50, to kill her husband who resides at Pamen near Kwabeng in the Eastern region so the two could freely settle down.

After his arrest, Asare led the police to Pamen where suspect his lover Brepor was also arrested.
