The Ghana Police Service has submitted a duplicate docket on the O’Reilly student murder case to the Attorney General’s office for legal advice.
This update was revealed by Chief Inspector Paul Osei during a recent court session, as reported by myjoyonline.com.
Chief Inspector Osei mentioned that he had instructed the case investigator to follow up on the progress of the matter.
The case has been adjourned until October 21, 2024, when the accused, Godwin Mawuli, will appear before the court. He remains in police custody under remand.
Magistrate Adwoa Benaso Asumadu-Sakyi took the opportunity to explain the legal process to the family of the deceased, encouraging them to stay involved in the case, the report added.
Godwin Mawuli faces a murder charge related to the death of Edward Borketey Sackey, a final-year student at O’Reilly Senior High School in Accra.
The fatal incident occurred following a heated argument between the two students over whose father was wealthier.
Despite the frantic efforts of fellow students to secure medical help, Edward was declared dead upon arrival at the hospital. Investigations have since been launched by the Ghana Education Service, amidst allegations of negligence on the part of the school.
