This evidence-led archive documents eight distinct cases, including the unresolved murder of prospective nurse Georgina Asor Botchwey, the unresolved murder and retrial of MP J.B. Danquah-Adu, the murder of Ishmael Mensah Abdallah, the Four Takoradi Girls case and four other major Ghanaian files. Convictions, acquittals, charges, alleged motives and unresolved proceedings remain separate.
Cases with verified convictions or equivalent judicial resolutions appear here. Later appeals and acquittals are reported as part of the current record, not hidden behind the section label.
Ten-year-old Ishmael was killed in Kasoa. Two defendants were convicted; the adult and juvenile sentencing tracks produced different penalties.

Three High Court judges and retired Major Sam Acquah were abducted during curfew. Five defendants were convicted; wider allegations were never adjudicated.
Open case file →
Four girls disappeared in the Sekondi-Takoradi area in 2018. DNA testing identified recovered remains, and two defendants were convicted of conspiracy and murder in 2021.
Open case file →
A false armed-robber report preceded Major Mahama's killing. Twelve defendants received life sentences in 2024; the Court of Appeal acquitted William Baah in 2025, so his overturned conviction is separated from the remaining trial outcomes.
Open case file →Documented cases without a conviction appear here. Accusations and abandoned charges remain clearly separated from established facts.
The sitting MP was killed at home in 2016. A co-accused was acquitted, a jury split without a valid verdict and a retrial began in 2026.
Open case file →
Dagbon's king was killed during armed violence in Yendi. Fifteen defendants were acquitted at the no-case stage in 2011, and no murder conviction was located.
Open case file →
The undercover journalist was shot in Madina in 2019. A man charged in 2025 was later discharged for insufficient evidence, and the gunmen remain unidentified.

The prospective nurse disappeared after an admission interview. Her remains were recovered near Mankessim; two defendants pleaded not guilty and no final verdict was located.
Open case file →Her remains were recovered in September 2022. Christopher Ekow Clark Quansah and Michael Darko pleaded not guilty to conspiracy and murder in 2024; no reliable final judgment was located through September 14, 2026.
The sitting MP was killed at his Accra home on February 9, 2016. Vincent Bosso was acquitted in 2024; Daniel Asiedu faced a retrial after a 4–3 jury split did not produce a valid verdict.
No final murder conviction was located by September 13, 2026. Asiedu pleaded not guilty when the High Court retook his plea in June 2026.
The ten-year-old was killed in Kasoa on April 3, 2021. Two defendants were convicted in October 2024. Nicholas Kini received life imprisonment; the juvenile defendant received a 12-month correctional sentence in January 2025.
The phrase reflects the prosecution's alleged-motive theory and common reporting language. It does not validate supernatural claims, and this archive treats it as an allegation rather than an established phenomenon.
No murder conviction was located. Fifteen defendants were acquitted at the no-case stage in 2011; the decision did not identify who killed the king.
The archive documents the murder of journalist Ahmed Hussein-Suale, the Four Takoradi Girls case and the murder of Major Maxwell Adam Mahama. Both have verified judicial outcomes, with later sentence or appellate developments explicitly bounded.
No. Daniel Owusu Koranteng was charged in 2025 but discharged on October 14 after the Attorney-General concluded that the evidence did not meet the threshold for prosecution. The gunmen remained unidentified.
Samuel Udoetuk Wills and John Orji were convicted of conspiracy and murder by a Sekondi High Court jury in March 2021.
The archive begins with the murder of Major Maxwell Adam Mahama near Denkyira Obuasi on May 29, 2017.
According to the official investigative account, roadside sellers saw Major Mahama's holstered sidearm while he was jogging in civilian clothes. A mistaken report that an armed robber had been seen then spread before the mob attack.
Yes. An Accra High Court convicted 12 defendants in January 2024 and sentenced them to life imprisonment. Two other defendants were acquitted at trial.
On November 20, 2025, the Court of Appeal quashed William Baah's abetment conviction and entered a not-guilty verdict. The court found that the jury had been misdirected and that the evidence did not establish that he abetted the murder.
Crime by Region treats investigation, accusation, plea, discharge, forensic identification, conviction, adult sentencing, juvenile sentencing, appeal and later sentence reform as separate stages. The Takoradi file preserves discrepancies in names and dates and does not infer automatic resentencing; the Mahama file preserves William Baah's appellate acquittal instead of repeating a superseded group count.
