Seven military officers, including senior officers and a driver, have been remanded by the Suame District Court in connection with the alleged assault of some civilians, leading to the death of two victims.
The officers are reported to have assaulted three men who were arrested on March 28 and taken to the 4th Infantry Battalion barracks.
The bodies of two of these victims were subsequently found at Danyame, a suburb of Kumasi.
The victims are Kwame Adu, also known as Ogee, Kwabena Sarfo, and Christian Obiri Yeboah, popularly called Kofi Yesu.
The prosecution says they were rounded up by uniformed military officers over accusations of stealing a mobile phone belonging to another civilian, after which they were taken to the 4BN barracks and beaten before being dumped at Danyame.
