Accused in Ahmed Suale's murder case slapped with fresh additional charge 

**Court Update on Ahmed Suale Murder Case**

The murder case of journalist Ahmed Suale has changed. Prosecutors have updated the charges against Daniel Owusu Koranteng, also known as Amakye. He now faces two counts: abetment to commit a crime and murder. This replaces the previous single charge of murder.

Owusu Koranteng appeared again at the Madina District Court. The court denied his bail request from defense lawyer Kofi Essel. Prosecutor Chief Inspector Nana Afua Bamfoa Bamfo opposed bail due to ongoing investigations.

Both Owusu Koranteng and Ahmed Suale worked together at Tiger Eye P.I., led by Anas Aremeyaw Anas. They had a personal connection before the tragic event occurred. Tensions rose in June 2018 when Kennedy Agyapong aired Suale’s images on his TV network, urging attacks against him.

Chief Inspector Bamfo stated that Suale confronted Owusu Koranteng via WhatsApp. He suspected Owusu Koranteng leaked his images to Agyapong. On January 16, 2019, Ahmed Suale was shot dead in Madina after his photos were publicized.

Investigators allege that Owusu Koranteng guided two accomplices to the attack location. These accomplices remain unidentified and at large. Evidence reportedly places him near Suale’s home during the murder.

Afterward, Owusu Koranteng fled Madina and reached Amasaman by 11:15 p.m. He then left for the United Kingdom. Investigators say he evaded police summonses and altered his identity using another person’s National ID.

Upon returning to Ghana, authorities arrested him at Amasaman on March 15 this year. In court, he admitted knowing Ahmed Suale and visiting Kennedy Agyapong but denied leaking images of Suale.

Law enforcement is still searching for other suspects linked to the murder case. The next court date is set for April 17, 2025.
