A 22-year-old man identified as Nicholas Gyekyey faces a murder charge. He is accused of killing his wife, Erica Ocansey. The incident reportedly took place in Enchi.
Gyekyey, who is also known as "Town Boy", was brought before the Enchi District Magistrate Court. The court is presided over by Mr Lawrence Buanor-Buer.
The prosecutor, Police Detective Chief Inspector Joseph Kwadwo Agyare, presented the case to the court. Gyekyey's plea has not been taken by the court. He remains in police custody.
The court has remanded Gyekyey into police custody. This allows the police to continue their investigations into the alleged murder.
Gyekyey is a galamsey operator by profession. Information regarding the circumstances surrounding Ocansey's death was partially presented by the prosecutor.
The court has scheduled a new date for the case to be heard. Gyekyey will reappear before the court on Monday, March 2, 2026.
