The Adabraka District Court has adjourned the case involving the murder of Immigration Officer Stephen King Amoah to October 22, 2025, as police prosecutors await the outcome of forensic tests and the official autopsy report.<\/p>\n

During Thursday\u2019s hearing, prosecutors told the court that investigations were still ongoing, explaining that the pending forensic results were essential to completing the case docket before forwarding it to the Attorney-General\u2019s Department for advice and further action.<\/p>\n

Lawyers for the second accused person, Thomas Ziggah, urged the court to ensure the prosecution adheres to the timelines set, stressing the need for fairness and expediency in the process.<\/p>\n
