The Ghana Police Service has confirmed that Samuel Amoah, popularly known as “Biggie,” will face criminal charges in court next week in connection with the brutal murder of an adult female and the assault of her children at Tuba Net-Link Estates in Kasoa.
This development was announced by the Director-General of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Commissioner of Police (COP) Lydia Donkor, during a press briefing held earlier today.
According to police investigations, the horrific incident occurred on May 19, 2024, when officers responded to reports of a violent altercation at a residence in the Tuba area.
Upon arrival, police found 39-year-old Alberta Hagan and her three children in a pool of blood inside their room. Tragically, Alberta and two of her children were confirmed dead at the scene.
A third child was found alive but with severe head injuries, including deep lacerations and bleeding from the ears.
A five-month-old baby, miraculously unharmed, was discovered on a sofa in the hall. The injured child was rushed to the hospital and is currently recovering.
The deceased were later transported to the Police Hospital morgue for autopsy.
A postmortem confirmed that the victims died as a result of severe blunt force trauma to the head, consistent with a violent assault.
Police investigations quickly pointed to Samuel Amoah as the prime suspect. Amoah, who had been living with the victims and was in a relationship with Alberta Hagan, reportedly became violent following a financial dispute that escalated tensions between them.
“In a fit of rage, the suspect attacked Alberta and the two children who witnessed the incident,” COP Lydia Donkor revealed. Amoah subsequently fled the scene and remained at large for nearly four months.
After an extensive intelligence-led manhunt, police arrested Amoah on September 17, 2025, at Suhum, Eastern Region. During interrogation, he reportedly confessed to the crime and expressed remorse for his actions.
Samuel Amoah is currently in police custody and assisting with further investigations. Prosecutors are preparing to formally charge him in court early next week, where he is expected to face multiple counts, including murder and attempted murder.
The Ghana Police Service has reassured the public of its commitment to ensuring justice is served. “We want to assure the public that this case is being treated with the utmost urgency and professionalism. The safety and security of our communities remain our top priority,” COP Donkor concluded.
