A female Kenkey seller has been arrested and brought before a court in connection with the death of 52-year-old tailor Felix Amanor, whose body was found near Pantoase in the Eastern Region on July 5, 2026. Police investigations reportedly included contact tracing and efforts to identify the suspect. The suspect allegedly claimed to investigators that Felix collapsed and passed away while they were intimate.

She reportedly removed his body and disposed of it by the roadside, fearing that her estranged husband would discover their encounter. She has been granted bail, and the case file has been forwarded to the Attorney-General's Office for further guidance. Felix, who resided on Blue Street near Adweso, was last seen on July 4, 2026.

His remains were discovered the following day, with his clothes and shop keys found nearby. Felix was laid to rest on October 4, 2026, leaving behind his ailing wife and two children. The details surrounding his demise and the allegations against the suspect are pending resolution through the legal process, as the police have forwarded the file to the Attorney-General for advice.
