They would re-appear in court on December 1.
Prosecuting, Chief Inspector Ivy Agadia of Agona Swedru Divisional Police told the court presided over by Mr Nathaniel K. Osam that Arthur was a close friend to Mr Buabeng and lodged with him for about a week before the robbery.
She said on the eve of October 27, Arthur collected a mobile phone from the wife of Mr Buabeng to make calls.
At midnight, Mr Buabeng heard unusual noise at the back of his house and woke up Arthur to accompany him to find out.
The robbers, numbering about eight with some wearing hoods on their faces broke into the house and inflicted cutlass wounds on Mr Buabeng and his wife.
They took away one laptop computer, two mobile phones, 10 pieces of cloths, Jewellery, other personal effects and 3,600 Ghana Cedis.
The prosecutor said Arthur’s behaviour after the incident made the police suspect he was the brain behind the robbery and was arrested.
According to Chief Inspector Agadia, Abena Atta was arrested upon a tip-off that she was buying stolen items.
