Amedeker Mawuadem Koku, a respected Physics lecturer at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW). The case, which has shaken the academic community and the nation at large, is currently under intense investigation.
Appearing before the court earlier this week, Arthur did not enter a plea. Police prosecutors requested more time to finalize investigations and gather key evidence, prompting the magistrate to grant an eight-day remand period.
The suspect is expected to reappear in court on the next hearing date as the case progresses.
According to preliminary reports, Arthur is alleged to have murdered Prof. Koku and buried his body at his residence in Agona Swedru.
The motive for the killing has not yet been confirmed by the police, but authorities believe it may be linked to a longstanding dispute or possible financial motivations.
Channel One’s Akwasi Addo, reporting from the suspect’s home, described the scene as grim and disturbing.
Law enforcement officers cordoned off the area as forensic teams combed through the residence for further clues. Neighbours expressed shock, saying Arthur had recently moved into the area and kept a low profile.
The late Prof. Koku was a beloved lecturer known for his dedication to teaching and mentorship at UEW.
News of his tragic death has sparked outrage and grief within the academic fraternity. Students and colleagues described him as a brilliant educator whose contribution to the sciences will be sorely missed.
Meanwhile, police sources have confirmed that Arthur is an ex-convict with a criminal record, though details of his prior convictions remain undisclosed.
This revelation has intensified public concern about the monitoring and rehabilitation of ex-convicts in Ghanaian communities.
The Ghana Police Service is urging the public to remain calm as investigations continue. They have also appealed to anyone with relevant information to come forward to assist in the case.
