The prime suspect in the murder of Immigration Officer Stephen King Amoah has been rearrested and formally charged with murder by the Ghana Police Service, following the discovery of new incriminating evidence.

Briefing the media on Monday, August 4, 2025, the Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), COP Lydia Donkor, indicated that the suspect, Bright Aweh, who is currently on remand and scheduled to appear in court on August 8, 2025, was charged with murder after a search of his residence revealed bloodstains and other incriminating evidences.

The discovery changed his charge from kidnapping to murder.

“… The suspect who was initially charged with kidnapping has since been re-arrested and formerly charged with murder. He is currently on remand following his appearance before the Adabraka District Court and is scheduled to reappear on 8 August 2025,” she indicated.

COP Donkor stated that the police service is working hard to apprehend others who may have been involved in the crime.

“A special operation is currently underway to identify and arrest his accomplices and we are following other vital leads to gather all necessary evidence against the suspect and his accomplices,” she said.

The deceased was declared missing in July 2025 by his family after he failed to return home following a meeting with his friend, the suspect Bright Aweh.

His partially burnt, lifeless body was discovered days after his disappearance, prompting a police investigation into the matter.
