He had reportedly told his pregnant partner he was stepping out briefly to buy something, but had in fact travelled to meet another woman.

Before going silent, he managed to send a WhatsApp message to a close friend saying he had been "set up" and shared his location, though the location was later deleted from the conversation.

A family member confirmed to CDR Africa on X that there were signs someone had attempted to burn his body before it was discovered.

His Honda Civic was later recovered, and at least three suspects were taken into custody by the Ghana Police.

Phil, described as a church member who had allegedly been posing as a fake soldier, reportedly admitted his role in the crime shortly after police interrogation.

Phil's alleged ex-girlfriend recalls final contact

She claimed he was insistent about visiting her in Takoradi and suggested the two could reconnect in person.

"That was the last time I spoke with him, just the last two weeks," she said.

She admitted struggling to reconcile the Phil she knew with the accusations now being made against him, describing him as a quiet individual who rarely spoke up.

She added that it would have been unusual to find him at home on Sundays because he was "always at church."

Second alleged ex-girlfriend "saw warning signs early"

A second woman who also allegedly dated Phil offered a starkly different account of who he was in private.

She described the relationship as difficult from the start, claiming he was deeply secretive and withheld a great deal from her during their time together, which ultimately led her to walk away.

She also alleged that Phil had claimed to be a soldier, a lie she supposedly saw through early in the relationship.

When that claim was later confirmed to be false amid the current circumstances, she said she was not entirely surprised.
