Richard Appiah, a footballer accused of murdering two minors and preserving their body parts in a refrigerator in Abesim, Bono Region, has been ordered to stand trial at the High Court. The Attorney General recommended that he be charged with the murder of Louis Agyeman and Stephen Sarpong, and he is set to appear before the High Court in Accra on August 16 to answer the charges.
Initially, Appiah experienced mental instability and received medical care, but he has now been declared fit to stand trial. The prosecution, led by State Attorney Nana Ama Adinkra, will present six witnesses to establish the case against him. They have submitted autopsy reports, partially burnt clothes and slippers of the minors, as well as their photographs, among other evidence.
T.K. Dzimega, the pro bono Defense Counsel, stated that Appiah would call two witnesses from Abesim in his defense. The gruesome killings and preservation of body parts occurred in 2021, and during the police investigation, some of the victims' body parts and intestines were found on a farm.
The deceased minors have since been buried.
