the property investigated the source of the smell and discovered the bodies buried on the premises. Aloys was subsequently arrested on October 8, 2020, as police began investigating the circumstances surrounding the deaths.
The bodies were later exhumed following a court order and taken to the Police Hospital mortuary for further examination. The German Embassy in Accra was also informed about the deaths of the two German nationals.
During the trial, the prosecution, led by Assistant State Attorney Yvonne Yaachie-Adomako, presented evidence intended to establish Aloys’s responsibility for the deaths.
After considering the evidence, the seven-member jury unanimously found him guilty on both murder charges. Presiding judge Justice Mary Maame Ekue Yanzuh subsequently sentenced him to life imprisonment.
The case attracted considerable public attention because of the circumstances surrounding the deaths and the discovery of the bodies at the family’s residence.
The conviction brought a legal conclusion to a case that began with neighbours reporting the disappearance of the woman and her daughter in 2020. It also highlighted how concerns raised by residents helped bring the matter to the attention of the authorities.
