The Dispatch reports in its front page that as the 18th anniversary of the murder of the three High Court Judges and retired Officers on June 30 nears, credible evidence reaching it indicates that the government is going to ask INTERPOL to help locate L/Cpl Samuel Awuku Amedeka, retired, service number 174826, who the National Public Tribunal described as “the operational commander” of the group which murdered the four Ghanaians.
The National Public Tribunal, chaired by Mr George Agyakum, on August 15, 1983, sentenced Joachim Aamartey Kwei; L/Cpl Samuel Kwaku Amedeka; L/Cpl Michael Komla Senya; Ransford Johny Dzandu and Evans Hekli Tekpor alias Tonny to death for the murder of the three judges – Mrs Cecilia Koranteng Addow, Mr Justice Sarkodee, Mr Justice Agyepong and the retired officer, Major Sam Acquah on the night of June 30, 1982.
The 2nd accused, Amedeka was not present during the trial and after respective notices in the media, was tried in absentia. All the accused persons, except Amedeka, were present at the trial and have since been executed by firing squad.
