UTV reported that police in the Eastern Region have additionally begun a search for another suspect who remains at large and is believed to be linked to the case.
Yeboah was last seen on November 16, after travelling to Foforfo to collect a mobile phone.
His disappearance prompted several days of searching until a community rescue team recovered his body from the Bediasi River on November 25.
The discovery provoked outrage among residents, resulting in the burning of three houses before personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service intervened to restore order.
Police subsequently engaged a pathologist to support the professional recovery and examination of the remains.
The assessment revealed that the body had been severely dismembered, with some parts already showing advanced decomposition.
