A pastor has been remanded into lawful custody for his alleged role in an attempted murder case involving a five-month-old baby in Bibiani.
The Bibiani District Court remanded Richmond Frimpong, also known as Prophet, alongside Beatrice Agyapongmaa and Emmanuel Appiah. The suspects allegedly attempted to bury the baby alive at a refuse dump at Abofrem in the Western North Region.
Richmond Frimpong and Beatrice Agyapongmaa, who is the baby’s mother, have been charged with conspiracy to commit crime, to wit attempted murder. Richmond Frimpong faces an additional charge of attempted murder.
Emmanuel Appiah and another suspect, Donkor, have been charged with abetment of crime. Donkor, a 53-year-old farmer, is currently on the run.
The Bibiani District Court, presided over by Mr Lord Delvin Essandoh, did not take their pleas. The court also refused a bail application filed by counsel for the accused persons.
The case has been adjourned to May 5, 2026.
