The Adabraka District Court has ordered the remand of Samuel Amoah, also known as “Biggie,” who is accused of murdering a woman and two of her children at Tuba, near Kasoa, in May last year.

He faces three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.

Amoah did not enter a plea when he appeared in court and was remanded into lawful custody to reappear on October 13, 2025.

The Ghana Police Service arrested him on September 17, 2025, in Suhum in the Eastern Region, after months of investigations into the killing of 39-year-old Alberta Hagan and two of her children, aged 18 and 10.

A third child, aged eight, survived the attack but sustained multiple head injuries.

According to police records, officers responded to a call on May 19, 2025, and found Alberta and three children in a pool of blood inside their home at Tuba Net-Link Estates.

The youngest, though critically injured, was rushed to hospital, while the three deceased were taken to the Police Hospital mortuary.

Preliminary investigations revealed that Amoah had been living with Alberta and her family.

Tensions reportedly arose after Alberta noticed suspicious withdrawals from her mobile money account, which she suspected Amoah of making.

When she threatened to report the matter to police, Amoah allegedly became violent, attacking Alberta and the children with a knife.

During interrogation after his arrest, Amoah allegedly confessed to the killings but claimed he acted in a fit of rage and “did not know what came over him.” Police say investigations are still ongoing.
