The family of slain immigration officer Stephen King Amoah is demanding answers over what they describe as missing body parts, insisting they cannot proceed with his burial until the remains are complete.
Relatives gathered at the Adabraka District Court on Thursday, September 4, where the case against two suspects resumed.

They told reporters that preliminary checks during funeral preparations revealed portions of the late officer’s body were unaccounted for.

“We cannot lay him to rest like this. We need his full remains,” a family spokesperson said, calling on investigators to clarify the situation and ensure that any outstanding parts are released to them.

The family said the development has compounded their grief and delayed funeral arrangements, urging authorities to provide a transparent explanation so a dignified burial can take place.

At Thursday’s hearing, prosecutors informed the court that the Ghana Police Service required more time and specialised equipment to advance investigations. They confirmed securing a court order to facilitate the process and requested that the suspects, Bright Aweh and Thomas Ziggah, remain in custody.

Defence counsel Gordon Aboagye raised concerns over the conditions under which the suspects are being held, arguing that their families should be informed of their locations for visitation.

He also appealed to the bereaved family to remain calm and allow the law to take its course, expressing his condolences to them.
The court adjourned proceedings to October 9, 2025, and urged the deceased officer’s family to exercise patience, assuring them that justice would prevail.

Stephen King Amoah, 38, was declared missing on July 3, 2025, after leaving home to meet a friend at Ashongman Estate. His charred body was later found on July 9 at Abuom Junction near Kwabenya, sparking a manhunt and ongoing police investigations.
