A dramatic turn of events has rocked the high-profile murder case of Immigration Officer Stephen King Amoah, as it was confirmed today that a third suspect has died after a short illness.
The development adds a new and unsettling twist to a case that has gripped the nation since the brutal killing of the 38-year-old officer.
The news was confirmed by the slain officer's brother, Kwasi Amoako, who told Citi FM that he was informed by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) officer handling the case.
The death of the suspect, whose identity has not been officially released by police, occurred just days after the accused were presented in court.
In a reaction, Mr. Amoako expressed a sense of divine intervention in their quest for closure.
"Yesterday we went to court and I can confirm that the third suspect has passed on. I was told by the Police CID, the one who is in charge of the case. We thank God that our brother has started seeking justice for himself," he said.
The case began on July 3, 2025, when the officer, Amoah, was reported missing after he left his home to meet a friend at Ashongman Estate.
His disappearance sparked a frantic search, which ended tragically on July 9 with the discovery of his charred body at Abuom Junction, near Kwabenya.
The gruesome nature of the crime prompted a swift and intensive police manhunt, leading to the arrest of three suspects.
While police have yet to issue a formal statement on the suspect's death, the family's confirmation adds a layer of complexity to the ongoing judicial process.
The Amoah family has consistently demanded swift and thorough investigations, hoping to bring closure to a case that has devastated them and put a spotlight on the safety of public servants.
The reported death raises questions about how the legal proceedings will now proceed, but the family's resolve for justice remains unshaken.
