Errand boy linked to murder of Dr Jesse Amuah, wife deported from Dubai
The Ghana Police Service has arrested a 32-year-old man, Abraham Awendok, in connection with the suspected murder of Dr Jesse Amuah and his wife, Mrs Elizabeth Esi Amuah, who were reported missing in April 2026.
In April 2026, Dr Jesse Amuah and his wife, Mrs Elizabeth Esi Amuah, went missing, prompting a police investigation that led to the discovery of their remains. The Inspector General of Police, Christian Tetteh Yohunu, disclosed that the remains were found at locations connected to the couple. Interim reports indicate that an errand boy, Abraham Awendok, is suspected of their murder.
Police allege that Awendok also stole money belonging to Dr Amuah's mother before fleeing to the United Arab Emirates. He was later declared an international fugitive through an Interpol Red Notice. On August 30, 2026, Awendok was deported from Dubai to Ghana after his admission to the crime during interrogation. The suspect's stolen vehicle has also been recovered.
Awendok remains in custody as investigators continue their probe into the case, promising more information as the investigation unfolds.
