Police Retrieve Blood-Stained Weapons in Shocking Murder of Immigration Officer

The Ghana Police Service has unearthed crucial forensic evidence in the murder case of Immigration Officer Stephen King Amoah, whose charred body was discovered on July 9, 2025, near GBC Satellite at Comet Estates in Accra. The latest revelations suggest a chilling premeditated crime, with investigators retrieving blood-stained weapons and fabric linking the main suspect directly to the murder.

???? Key Forensic Discoveries

At a press conference on August 4, 2025, the Director General of the CID, COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, detailed the findings of the forensic investigation:

• A fufu pestle wrapped in polythene, stained with human blood, was discovered in nearby bushes—believed to be the murder weapon.

• The suspect’s house had visible blood stains, an attempt to clean the crime scene, and a suspicious freshly painted room.

• An empty spray paint can used to repaint the bloodied walls was recovered.

• Investigators also retrieved a burnt carpet and clothing from the GBC Satellite area.

• Blood traces were found inside the suspect’s vehicle, and all samples collected have been confirmed to be of human origin.

These findings, police say, strongly tie Bright Aweh, the primary suspect, to the brutal killing.

???? Who Was Stephen King Amoah?

A respected officer of the Ghana Immigration Service, Stephen King Amoah left his home on July 3, 2025, after a WhatsApp conversation with Bright Aweh—reportedly regarding a GH¢200,000 debt. He never returned. His burned body was found six days later in a drain close to the GBC premises.

???? Charges and Continuing Investigation

Bright Aweh, who was initially arrested for kidnapping, has now been formally charged with murder. Police believe he did not act alone and have launched an ongoing operation to apprehend any accomplices.

The case has sparked national outrage and intensified public calls for swift justice and systemic reforms in protecting law enforcement officers.

???? Summary:

Ghana Police have recovered blood-stained weapons, burnt materials, and forensic evidence linking suspect Bright Aweh to the murder of Immigration Officer Stephen King Amoah. The case, which began as a kidnapping investigation, has escalated into a murder probe, with further arrests likely.
