The self-confessed murderer of the two African-Americans at Akwamufie in the Eastern region of Ghana, Anokye Yaw Frimpong, reportedly escaped from the custody of the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) a few days ago.

A top reliable source within the security network of Ghana disclosed to Starrfmonline.com Frimpong was re-arrested somewhere this week by a crack team of BNI operatives after jumping custody.

“It happened, but the issue has been dealt with,” the security capo disclosed. “I don’t know whether fresh charges will be preferred against him in court, but he is back in custody.”

Frimpong, a driver, confessed in court to killing MamelinaDiop, 75, and Nzinga Jaana, 69 at Akwamu in the Eastern region. He is standing trial with five others.

An Accra Human Rights Court last week granted bail to the five - Nana Appia-Nti III, a mechanic, Nana Obiri Yeboah, a farmer, Brenda Kareema Mohammed, a pensioner, Yazid Alazim Mohammed, a businessman and Mensah Kamaugogo Muata, a surgeon assistant.

They have been charged with “conspiracy to commit crime to wit murder”.

Frimpong who is yet to have legal representation, was refused bail.

The suspects were first arraigned before court on Tuesday, May 12, 2015.

The deceased persons, MamelinaDiop, 75, and Nzinga Jaana, 69, were found buried two days after the crime. The two who were pensioners from the American Civil Service were allegedly murdered over a 218.5 acres of land at Fiahankra near Akuamufie also in the Eastern region.
