The prosecution handling the murder case of Joana Yabane, a final-year student at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), has submitted an amended charge sheet and an autopsy report to the court.
This was announced in a statement issued by the KNUST management.
The statement explained that during proceedings, the court observed that the prosecution had yet to receive advice from the Attorney-General’s Office on the case.
As a result, the police prosecution team has been instructed to collaborate with the Attorney-General’s Office to ensure a swift trial.
The management has further assured its commitment to justice.
“We remain dedicated to ensuring that justice is served in a manner that meets the expectations of the bereaved family and all stakeholders,” the statement added.
A final-year student, Master Daniel Tuffuor, alleged to be Joana’s boyfriend, is currently standing trial as the prime suspect.
He made his second court appearance on Monday, March 17, 2025, and was remanded to prison.
The court has adjourned the case to April 1, 2025, to allow time for the Attorney-General’s advice and further legal processes.
