Court remands man charged with banker's murder

Abraham Baah Kwame Oyortey, 25, who is on a provisional charge of murder over the killing of Ms. Rosemond Nyampong, was on Thursday remanded into prison custody by a Tema Magistrate Court.

Oyortey, who has made his fifth appearance in court since the trial began, is to re-appear on April 17.

A duplicate docket on the case has already been sent by the court to the Attorney General’s Office for advice.

On November 21 last year, Rosemond, a worker at the Credit Department of Stanbic Bank, was found murdered in the kitchen of her rented apartment at Baatsona in Accra where she lived.

The police later discovered the deceased’s Toyota Yaris saloon car at a car washing bay at Odumasi Krobo in the lower Manya District of the Eastern Region.

Oyortey who had removed the number plates and stickers, was arrested by the police when he arrived at the bay to drive the car away.
