The Ghana Police Service has achieved a major breakthrough in the investigation into the gruesome deaths of Accra-based medical practitioner Dr. Jesse Amuah and his wife, Elizabeth Esi Amuah. On October 2, 2026, authorities announced the arrest of 32-year-old Abraham Awondok, who served as an errand boy for the couple. Awondok was apprehended in Dubai following an intensive international search coordinated through an INTERPOL Red Notice and has since been deported back to Ghana to face trial for the killings.
The case began in March 2026 when the Amuahs were first reported missing, sparking a search that concluded tragically in April when their bodies were discovered. Investigations into their disappearance uncovered clear evidence of foul play at their residence and other locations they frequented. According to Inspector General of Police Christian Tetteh Yohunu, Awondok admitted to the murders during police interrogation. After the killings, the suspect allegedly fled the country with several of the victims' personal belongings, including their vehicle, which has since been recovered by investigators.
Currently, Awondok remains in police custody as detectives continue to finalize the case and explore whether other accomplices were involved. The Ghana Police Service has credited international cooperation for the swift apprehension of the suspect and continues to urge the public to report any suspicious activities to the authorities. This development marks a significant step toward justice for the Amuah family after months of uncertainty following the couple's disappearance and subsequent discovery.
