The Asokwa District Court on Friday, May 8, remanded for two weeks, two people who allegedly plotted to commit murder.
The two, 27-year-old Mavis Brepor and her 50-year-old boyfriend, Patrick Asare, were arrested after they mistook a would-be contract killer's cell phone number for that of the Manhyia Divisional Police Command.
Ms Brepor had planned to kill her husband so she could settle down with Mr Asare.
According to ACP Kwaku Buah, the two after plotting the deed decided to contract the services of someone to execute the act but mistakenly dialed his number.
He said during their conversation, Patrick Asare, popularly called Coach, revealed that he was ready to pay an amount of ¢100,000 for his 'service'.
ACP Buah said it took the Police about four weeks to lure the suspects to Kumasi after investigators convinced them that they were contract killers from Sefwi.
The suspects were subsequently arrested and processed for court. The case has since been adjourned to May 21.
