Police arrest Dr Jesse Amuah murder suspect after Dubai deportation

The Ghana Police Service has apprehended Abraham Awundok in Dubai, marking a significant breakthrough in the investigation into the murder of Dr Jesse Amuah and his wife, Elizabeth Esi Amuah. The couple had gone missing in Accra in March 2026, prompting an urgent search. Police identified Awundok as a suspect, alleging he had fled to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) after committing the crime. He had reportedly served as an errand boy for the Amuah family.

Inspector-General of Police Christian Tetteh Yohuno disclosed this development at a press briefing, stating that the Amuahs' disappearance had led to their fatal end. Yohuno attributed the findings to a collaborative effort between the Ghana Police Service and Interpol, which facilitated Awundok's deportation from Dubai back to Ghana. Upon his arrival in Ghana, he was promptly arrested by the police.

The arrest of Awundok is highlighted as a major breakthrough in ongoing investigations into various murder and armed robbery cases. This development underscores the commitment of the Ghana Police Service to bring perpetrators to justice and ensure the safety of its citizens.
