Four persons who allegedly murdered and secretly buried a 30 year old man have been remanded into prison custody by a circuit court at Techiman presided over by Mr. Justice Godwin Kwasi-Kumah.
The court ordered Alhaji Yusifu Mataba Alhassan, alias Obolo, 42, a businessman, Amina Yusifu, 36, his wife, Osei Kwaku, 22, and Iddrisu Tona, alias landlord, 23 to re-appear on August 2, this year.
Their pleas were not taken.
Chief Inspector Comfort Adubia Nyamesah told the court that Alhaji Mataba accused the deceased, Yahaya Amadu and one Baba Majar, 14, of stealing his mobile phone and three million cedis.
The prosecutor said Alhaji arrested the two and subjected them to severe punishment until he realised that Yahaya had become weak and was about to collapse and rushed him to the Techiman Holy family hospital but he died on the way.
He then carried the body in his private vehicle to Bredi number one near Nkoranza and secretly buried Yahaya with the help of the others.
