Kumasi-Ghana, May 30, GNA – Inspector Ahmed Twumasi, the Police Officer standing trial for allegedly shooting his girlfriend in Kumasi, has officially been charged for murder on the advice of the Attorney General.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Kofi Blagodzi told the Asokore Mampong District Court on Tuesday that prosecution had received the Attorney General’s advice recommending murder charges against the suspect.
He said the prosecution was preparing bill of indictment for the commencement of committal proceedings at the High Court.
Inspector Twumasi was making his second appearance before the court presided over by Mr Samuel Buabin Quansah after he was remanded into police custody on April 25 on provisional charge of murder.
