Olombobi murder suspect remanded to reappear Sep 13
A murder suspect, Etse Justice Amuzu, 37-year-old farmer, who allegedly shot his biological brother to death at Olombobi, in the Kadjebi District of Ori Region, has been remanded in custody to reappear on September 13.
When the case was called on Tuesday, Inspector Emmanuel Agbewoley, the Kadjebi Station Officer, holding brief for Inspector Jacob Vormekpe, the prosecutor, told the court that the docket on the case had been forwarded to the Attorney General’s Department for advice.
Consequently, Mr George Wellington Arhin, who presided over the Kadjebi Magistrate’s Court, adjourned hearing to Friday, September 13.
It would be recalled that on night of August 13, this year, Bright Doe Amuzu, a 34-year-old farmer at Olombobi, who earlier in the day had a fight with the suspect, his biological brother, went to Etse’s house for a discussion.
Etse, pulled a-single-barrel gun and shot Olombobi without any provocation.
The victim was rushed to the St. Mary Theresa Catholic Hospital, Dodi-Papase, for medical care, but passed on three days after the incident.
The unfortunate incident had thrown the entire Olombobi community in into disbelief and mourning.
The Ghana News Agency’s (GNA), earlier report mentioned Dodo-Pepesu as the community, where the incident happened instead of Olombobi.
In a related development, Divine Torku, a 40-year-old mentally challenged man at Dodi-Papase, who allegedly killed Mr. Hope Kudzo Dentey, a 60- year-old farmer with a machete, has been remanded to reappear on September 13.
