Mr Anthony Abebrese, Presiding Magistrate did not take the pleas of the suspects and directed that they reappear on February 24.
Mr Akwesi Asafo-Agyei, Dzodze District Police Commander told the court that about 08:30 hours on December 25 last year, Mavis Addai went to fetch water from the reservoir and raised the alarm when spotted Sedziafa's body floating.
He said the police retrieved the body and sent it the Police Hospital in Accra for autopsy.
Mr Asafo-Agyei said an interim report indicated that Sedziafa did not die as a result of drowning, suggesting that he might have been murdered before being dumped in the tank.
He said the report indicated that Sedziafa suffered head injuries and severe cerebral edema.
