The Asokwa District Court has placed two juveniles in custody following their alleged involvement in the murder of a 16-year-old boy in Anloga, located in the Oforikrom Municipality of the Ashanti Region.
The incident occurred on November 4, 2024, during an altercation in which the primary suspect, a 16-year-old girl, is accused of stabbing the victim. A second suspect, a 15-year-old girl, is alleged to have aided in the crime.
In their initial court appearance, the female suspect was charged with murder and causing bodily harm to the victim, while the second suspect faced charges of abetting murder.
Victor Owusu-Ansah, the brother of the deceased, expressed confidence in the justice system following the court’s decision to deny bail to the suspects.
The case is scheduled to continue on November 20, 2024, for further proceedings.
