A Human Rights court in Accra has granted bail to five people alleged to have been involved in the killing of two African Americans at Akwafie in the Eastern Region, after the sixth suspect Anokye Frimpong, confessed in court to killing the two.
[contextly_sidebar id=”8csZ1vyPCp2TjjmEYt9JDULugAH7236R”]The five, Nana Appia-Nti III, a mechanic, Nana Obiri Yeboah, a farmer, Brenda Kareema Mohammed, a pensioner, Yazid Alazim Mohammed, a businessman and Mensah Kamaugogo Muata, a surgeon assistant have been charged with conspiracy to commit crime to wit murder.
They were granted bail to the sum of hundred thousand cedis without any surety.
Anokye Frimpong is said to have demonstrated to the Police how he murdered the two sisters at Akwamufie before burying them few meters from their home.
The two deceased, Mamlena, 75, and 69-year-old Nzinga were kidnapped, murdered and buried in a shallow grave.
The family of one of the two African Americans had earlier blamed the Police in the Eastern Region for failing to prevent the deaths after clear signs of danger.
According to Majewa Akpan, sister to one of the deceased, the Police could have prevented the murder of the two traditional leaders of the African American community in Fihankra if they had been proactive.
She claimed that they sought the help of the Police on several occasions when their lives were being threatened but they were not assisted in any way.
