A man accused of killing his neighbour has been remanded in custody. The incident followed a long dispute over land.

The Accra Circuit Court made the remand order. The suspect appeared before the court this week.

Prosecutors allege the suspect attacked and killed his neighbour. The motive is believed to be a protracted land dispute.

The court has also mandated a psychiatric examination for the accused. This is to assess his mental state.

Further court proceedings will depend on the results of the evaluation. Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death.
