The TDC magistrate’s court in Tema has referred the 27-year-old auto-electrician accused of murdering the 32-year-old staff of Stanbic Bank at her residence at Baatsona, off the Spintex Road, Accra, to the high court for trial to continue.
Magistrate Eric Adjei committed Abraham Oyoko Baah to the high court when he appeared in court last week.
While Abraham is still in prison custody, the prosecution said it was preparing a warrant for the Ghana Prisons Service to take over the custody of the accused for onward prosecution at the high court.
He was charged with murdering the banker on November 21, 2013.
Mr. Eric Adjei read the charge to the accused – who is yet to get a legal aid – and informed him that the state was in receipt of the committal of the case to the high court.
Rosemond Nyampong was found dead in a kitchen at her residence.
Police intelligence later discovered the deceased’s Toyota Yaris saloon car at a washing bay at Odumasi Krobo in the Lower Manya Krobo district of the Eastern Region, being driven by Abraham and he was immediately apprehended.
Also other items – a home theatre, plasma television set and cellular phones – belonging to the late Ms. Nyampong, were found in Abraham’s room.
He was interrogated and during his third appearance at the court, admitted killing the banker single handedly.
