Baffour-Awuah and Kyeremeh were charged with “abetment to commit a crime, to wit murder” and granted GH¢500,000 bail each, while Owusu was remanded in police custody for murder. The court also ordered Baffour-Awuah to submit his passport to the court registry for 14 days.
The suspects will re-appear in court on Monday, February 17, 2025
