The Konongo District Court has remanded the five students arrested for their roles in the death of a student of Konongo Odumase Secondary High School (KOSS) into police custody.
They are expected to return to Court on November 15, on a provisional charge of murder and abetment of crime.
The Court presided over by Joyce Bamfo denied a bail request by counsel for the first accused, Richard Adu Darko, whilst granting police submission for time to conclude investigations.
The Police, on November 6, arrested the five students for allegedly stabbing a first-year colleague to death.
The 17-year-old deceased student, identified as Sam-una Larrham was a first-year gold track student.
The Police arraigned the five suspects on Monday, after which they were remanded into police custody.
Meanwhile, the Konongo Divisional Police Commander, Chief Supt. Shaibu Abubakar Sadiq Osei said a team has been set up to facilitate investigations into the matter.
“We have within six months per the juvenile justice system to finish trial. For that reason, we have put together investigative team because we don’t want one person to conduct investigation to slow down proceedings.
"The command has added two other investigators to the original investigator to ensure that we are within the time frame,” he said.
