The two men standing accused for the murder of a 25-year-old lady, Georgina Asor Botchwey, have been remanded into prison custody by the Cape Coast High Court Two. Christopher Ekow Clark Quansah and Michael Darko, a pastor, were until Tuesday, February 13, in the custody of the police. But the two have been remanded in the Ankaful Prison Annex by the Court presided over by Mr Justice John Mark Nuku Alifo following the completion of police investigations into the matter. The Court has set Tuesday, February 20, to commence an accelerated full trial in earnest with an assurance to complete same by the end of July given the heightened public interest in the case. Consequently, the accused persons will appear before court three times every week. Meanwhile, Justice Alifo has cautioned journalists against publishing false and misleading stories on the case, mindful of the fact that he could not prevent them from carrying out their duties. The fact of the case is that the deceased, Georgina Asor Botchwey, a res ident of Yeji in the Bono East Region and an applicant seeking admission at the Ankaful Psychiatric Nursing School in the Central Region, arrived in Cape Coast on Thursday, September 8, 2022, for an interview at the school. Upon arrival, Botchwey called Darko who was her senior sister's fiancé and informed him about her presence in the region and her mission there. Darko then offered to pick her up after her interview at the Nursing School and later arrived in a taxi as had been arranged and sent her to Pedu Junction in Cape Coast, where Clark Quansah had parked his Benz Car with registration number GT 8686-C, which she joined. Quansah then drove them to Akwaakrom near Mankessim, seized the deceased's iPhone and locked her in a room. The accused persons then went to Asikafo Ambantem, a suburb of Mankessim, where they allegedly dug a hole in an uncompleted storey building belonging to Quansah and went back for the lady and sent her to Asikafo Ambantem. On September 9, 2022, around mid-day, Quansah and Dar ko allegedly killed Georgina by hitting her head with a club and when she fell Darko held her neck till she died. The two allegedly took away some pubic hair of the deceased and left the uncompleted storey building around 0200hours the next day. A complaint was lodged by the brother of the deceased, Mr Alfred Duodu, with the police after frantic efforts to reach his sister proved futile. The police later picked up an intelligence that it was Darko who picked Georgina at Ankaful. Armed with the information, the police searched for Darko, who was arrested on Friday, September 19, at Anomabo and he admitted to the offence and led the police to where the deceased had been buried and the body was exhumed. Further police intelligence later led to the arrest of Quansah from his hideout at Ekumfi Akwaakrom and he also admitted the crime, stating that they did it for money rituals. The accused persons were first put before the Cape Coast District Court Two, presided over by Madam Bernice Mensima Ackon, and were charged with conspiracy to commit crime to wit murder and murder. Meanwhile, the accused persons had admitted to ritual murder during their appearances in court. Source: Ghana News Agency
