The prime suspect in the murder of Princess Afia Ahenkan, a 35-year-old businesswoman in Kumasi, has confessed to the crime in court.
Allister John, a security guard of the deceased, and his accomplice James Anokye were apprehended on September 14, 2023, through an intelligence-led operation.
The suspects had gone into hiding with the victim’s car, which they later sold. The car has been recovered and impounded for further investigation. The suspects were arraigned before the Asokore Mampong district court and have been remanded until their next court appearance on October 3, 2023.
The case involves a conspiracy with three additional suspects who are currently at large. While the plea of the suspects was not taken, Allister John admitted to the crime and sought leniency from the court after the facts were presented.
The prosecution requested remand to allow for further investigation by the police.
