Three more people alleged to be involved in the murder of Major Maxwell Adam Mahama at Denkyira Obuasi were on Wednesday put before the Accra Central District Court.

Kwame Tuffuor had earlier been seen in a video clip making the rounds on social media confessing that he used cement block to hit the head of Mahama.

“I was carrying wood when I heard that a thief had been caught, so I rushed to the place to watch. When I got there, he had already been killed so I hit his head with a cement block,’’ Tuffuor stated in the video.

When the three suspects appeared in court on Wednesday, Bio denied being part of the group of people who killed Major Mahama.

“I don’t know anything about the soldier’s death. I was at Denkyira Obuasi for my mother’s funeral and I was not at the place where he was killed,’’ Bio said.

The presiding magistrate, Mr Ebenezer Kweku Ansah, told the accused person to remain calm as the police were still investigating the case.

The three have since been remanded into police custody to reappear on June 21, 2017.

So far, 44 people, including six women, have been arraigned before court and charged with the murder of the military officer.
