The family of the slain immigration officer, Stephen King Amoah, are demanding the full remains of the officer for burial.
According to the family, they cannot proceed with the burial until his remains are complete.
The family revealed that preliminary checks during preparations for the burial showed portions of the late officer’s body were missing.
Speaking in an interview on JOYNEWS on Thursday, September 4, 2025, a family member of the slain immigration officer disclosed, “We cannot lay him to rest like this. We need his full remains”.
The family member further called on investigators and the suspects to provide clarity and release any outstanding parts to the family.
The family member lamented that the situation is causing more grief as the missing body parts keep delaying the funeral.
The Adabraka District Court on Thursday, September 4, 2025, adjourned the case to October 9.
The Ghana Police has also announced that a third suspect linked to the case died on August 23, 2025, after a short illness.
Meanwhile, the aunt of the late Immigration Officer Stephen King Amoah invoked curses on suspects on Thursday, September 4, 2025, at the Adabraka District Court.
In a viral video, the aunt of the slain officer broke eggs, performed rituals, and invoked curses on those she believes are responsible for his death, extending the curse to their generations.
Speaking in the video, she invoked curses, saying, “Anyone responsible for his death should also suffer the same fate.
All your generation will suffer the same fate; the gods should deal ruthlessly with anyone responsible for his death, the gods shouldn’t spare anyone involved in his murder,” she cursed.
In addition, details of how the murder of Immigration Officer Stephen Amoah at the residence of the main suspect have emerged.
According to reports, Bright Aweh, the prime suspect, allegedly orchestrated the killing of immigration officer Stephen King Amoah with chilling precision.
Ghana Chronicles in a post on X on August 26, 2025, detailed, “Bright Aweh, the prime suspect, lived with his wife in a storey building. On the morning of the incident, he sent his wife on an errand, ensuring she was out of the house.
To clear the compound, Bright told his upstairs neighbour, who was leaving for work, not to return early because he planned to fumigate due to a “funny smell.”
When the neighbour offered to chip in for fumigation chemicals, Bright refused, insisting he’d handle it alone, raising suspicions about his true intentions.
Bright also confronted another neighbour about their CCTV facing his compound. The neighbour claimed it was faulty, but later installed a 360° camera that recorded three motorbikes entering Bright’s house before Amoah arrived. Their purpose remains a mystery”.
The further narrated, “Stephen Amoah, the victim, told his nephew he was visiting Bright to collect money owed to him. Tragically, he entered the house and never came out alive.
Later, Bright’s car was seen leaving the compound, its contents unknown, adding to the growing list of suspicious activities.
Disturbingly, WhatsApp messages were sent from Stephen’s phone after the incident, claiming, “I have received the money, my wife is not around, so today I am going to chase girls,” suggesting an attempt to mislead investigators.
Following Bright’s arrest, a second suspect, Thomas Zigah (AKA Nii Jaase), was apprehended. A third suspect was also detained but has since died under unclear circumstances.
The calculated moves by Bright—clearing the house, deflecting neighbours, and the mysterious motorbikes—point to a meticulously planned crime. What drove him to such lengths? The investigation continues”.
Furthermore, the Ghana Police Service has announced that they have discovered weapons used in the murder of Immigration Officer Stephen Amoah at the residence of the main suspect.
According to the police, during a search of the suspect’s home, they found bloodstains in the living room and evidence of a freshly painted wall, apparently intended to conceal the crime.
The Police revealed a separate search at another location uncovered a blood-stained carpet that had been burned and a fufu pestle stained with blood.
COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, the Director General of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, detailed that all recovered items were sent for forensic analysis, which confirmed the presence of human blood.
Speaking during a press conference on August 4, COP Lydia Yaako Donkor detailed, “The investigation took a decisive turn on July 16, 2025, when the CID, supported by officers from the Counter Terrorism Unit and the Kwabenya District Police, visited the suspect’s residence. A forensic review revealed the following: bloodstains in the living room, evidence of attempted cleanup, freshly painted walls, and an empty can of spray paint.
“A search of a secondary crime scene near the GBC Satellite Area also uncovered a burnt woolen carpet stained with blood and a partially burnt camouflage fabric. These items were photographed, retrieved, and processed for forensic analysis,” she added.
The CID boss added, “On July 24, police obtained a warrant to search a specific room in the suspect’s house. The search revealed additional bloodstains, which were photographed and sampled for forensic analysis. A further search in the bushes approximately 100 meters from the suspect’s house also led to the retrieval of a fufu pestle with bloodstains all over it, wrapped in polythene,” she said.
COP Donkor also revealed that an impounded vehicle belonging to the suspect also contained bloodstains and tested positive for human blood.
“Police also impounded the suspect’s vehicle, in which bloodstains were found and collected for analysis. I wish to state that the initial blood samples collected have tested positive for human blood. To aid the investigation, the deceased’s mother and son have provided samples for DNA profiling,” she stated.
COP Yaako Donkor has disclosed that the suspect has now been charged with murder in light of the new evidence gathered and will reappear in court on August 8.
She added that efforts are being made to arrest his accomplices.
COP Yaako Donkor added, “In light of this evidence, the suspect, initially charged with kidnapping, has been re-arrested and formally charged with murder. He is currently in custody following his appearance before the Adabraka District Court and is scheduled to reappear on August 8, 2025.
“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.
