The two allegedly told the police that they met the lady at Batanyaa on the Cape Coast-Assin Fosu Highway and killed her.
The family of the deceased, who was at the mortuary in Cape Coast on Thursday afternoon, identified the body of their relative.
Also, a team of police personnel from the Central Regional Command was led by the accused persons to arrest a 26-year-old mason in Mankessim in connection with the alleged murder.
Sources indicated that they saw the third suspect being whisked away and identified him as one Abbey, the in-law of Ekow Quansah.

The sources said Ekow Quansah, confessed to having hired the husband of one Esi Akyere to dig the pit in his houses at Mankessim.
Following the revelation, the police swiftly moved to the community and with the backing of the chiefs arrested Abbey, who initially denied the act but later admitted to digging the pit for GH¢50.
According to Abbey, who is also one of the leaders of the Youth Volunteer Group in the community, the Tufuhene paid him the agreed amount in installments of GH¢20 and GH¢30 respectively after the work.
