 Accra (Greater Accra) 09 April 2002 - Kwaku Omari, 57, who shot and killed his wife and sister -in-law at the Gaskia area at Sabon Zongo in Accra, on Monday made a second appearance at the James Town Circuit Tribunal.
Omari, the spectacle repairer, who is on provisional charge of murder, was on March 25 remanded into custody until last Monday by the tribunal, chaired by Mrs Jennifer Tagoe. His plea was not taken.
The prosecutor, Chief Inspector Osei Assibe, told the tribunal when the case was mentioned on Monday that the docket on the case was still at the law office of the Police and that when it was ready, it would be forwarded to the Attorney-General’s office for advice. The Tribunal chairman, adjourned the case again until April 29, 2002.
Omari was said to have shot and killed his wife, Jane Abena Boatemaa, 35, and her sister Obaa Yaa, in an angry mood, after he accused his wife of being unfaithful to him. He also shot a third person, Kwame Asante, who was treated and discharged at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. Omari, later attempted to commit suicide by killing himself but was only injured in the jaw by the bullet.
When he was first arraigned before the tribunal, the prosecution informed the tribunal that Omari was still receiving daily medical treatment at the Korle-Bu teaching Hospital and that he was due for an operation to remove a piece of metal embedded in his jaw.
