The family of slain immigration officer Stephen King Amoah has raised fresh concerns over alleged missing body parts, insisting they cannot proceed with his burial until the remains are complete.
Gathering at the Adabraka District Court on Thursday, September 4, where the case against the suspects resumed, relatives said preliminary checks during funeral preparations revealed that portions of the deceased’s body were unaccounted for.
“We cannot lay him to rest like this. We need his complete remains,” a grieving relative told JoyNews, urging investigators to clarify the matter and release any outstanding parts to the family.
According to the family, the development has deepened their grief and further delayed funeral arrangements. They are demanding swift and transparent action from authorities to enable a dignified burial.
During the hearing, prosecutors informed the court that the Ghana Police Service required more time and specialized gadgets to progress with investigations. They confirmed securing a court order to facilitate the process and prayed for the continued remand of the suspects, Bright Aweh and Thomas Ziggah.
Counsel for the accused, Gordon Aboagye, raised concerns about the detention conditions, stressing that the suspects’ families should be aware of their whereabouts to allow visitation. He also appealed to the bereaved family to remain calm, commiserating with them while urging trust in the legal process.
The court adjourned proceedings to October 9, 2025, assuring the deceased’s relatives that justice would take its full course.
Stephen King Amoah, 38, was reported missing on July 3, 2025, after leaving home to meet a friend at Ashongman Estate. His charred body was later discovered on July 9 at Abuom Junction, near Kwabenya, sparking a manhunt and intensive police investigations.
