The Accra Regional Police Command has arrested one suspect, Bright Aveh, linked to the murder of Stephen King Amoah, an Immigration Officer, whose burnt body was discovered on July 9, 2025, in a gutter near GBC Satellite, opposite Comet Estate, Accra.
Amoah was reported missing on July 4, 2025, after leaving his Ashongman Estate residence on the night of July 3, 2025.
The police, in a statement issued on July 10, 2025, explained that the deceased had received WhatsApp images of cash bundles from Bright Aveh, who requested a meeting to settle an outstanding amount. Amoah never returned home, and his phone remained switched off.
The burnt body was identified by relatives at the police hospital mortuary, despite the extent of the burns.
During interrogation, Aveh admitted to giving the deceased GH₵500,000.00 in cash, directing him to pay off debts and hold the remainder.
However, Aveh could not clearly explain the source of the funds and provided conflicting statements during the questioning.
Meanwhile, the Regional Police Command condemned the gruesome act and assured the public of a thorough investigation.
As the investigation continues, the police are calling on anyone with information to contact the nearest police station or call emergency numbers 18555 or 192.
