A Chinese national, who was a suspect in the murder of a fellow citizen, has been granted bail by an Accra Magistrate Court. The suspect, identified as Yao Feng, faced charges related to the death of 45-year-old Wang Feng, whose body was discovered last week at an apartment in East Legon. The prosecution had initially opposed the bail application, citing concerns over potential flight risk and the gravity of the offense.
However, the court ultimately ruled in favor of bail due to insufficient evidence linking Yao to the murder. As part of his bail conditions, he is required to report to the police regularly. The case has drawn significant media attention and raised questions about safety within expatriate communities in Ghana.
Wang's death has sparked fears among residents and officials alike regarding violent crime involving foreign nationals. Investigators are continuing their efforts to uncover more details surrounding this incident as they seek justice for Wang and reassurance for the wider community.
