A 22-year-old man has been sentenced to death by hanging by a High Court in Accra for the murder of two African-American women at Akwamufie in the Asuogyaman District of the Eastern Region, in May 2015.
The judge, Justice Merley Afua Wood, while delivering her judgment, asked God to have mercy on the soul of the accused as he was about to face death.

It will be recalled that the two deceased persons, Mane Lena, 75, and 69-year-old Diop Nzanga, were kidnapped, murdered and buried in a shallow grave in 2015.
The bodies of the two were found after the Acting President of the Akwamu Traditional Council dispatched over 70 people to support the police in the search for the two when it became obvious that they had gone missing.
