What started as a bond between friends has now ended in horror and heartbreak.
In a story that’s sent shockwaves through the Ashongman Estate community and beyond, a young man named Stephen King Amoah was found brutally murdered — and the person believed to be the last to see him alive was someone he called a friend.
A Mysterious Call and a Meeting That Turned Fatal
According to emerging reports, Bright Aweh Roberts, a close associate of Stephen, allegedly reached out to him on July 3rd with a promise to return GHS 200,000 — money Stephen had reportedly handed over earlier to help secure jobs for friends and relatives.
The meeting place? Ashongman Estate.
Stephen, trusting the gesture and hopeful for closure, made his way there.
But tragically, that was the last time he was seen alive.
Discovery of the Body Leaves a Community in Shock
Just days later, Stephen’s lifeless body was found under horrifying circumstances.
He had been stabbed multiple times, burned, and wrapped in a blanket — a chilling and deeply disturbing scene.
Though investigations are still underway, many are pointing fingers at Bright, the same friend who supposedly reached out with promises of repayment.
However, as of now, there is no official confirmation tying him directly to the murder.
A Painful Lesson in Trust and Deception
This story cuts deeper than most because it hits at something we all understand — the belief that those closest to us have our best interests at heart.
Stephen reportedly gathered the GHS 200,000 from family and friends, entrusting Bright with it, only to end up betrayed in the most devastating way.
It serves as a grim reminder: not everyone who smiles at you is a friend.
Sometimes, danger wears a familiar face.
What Happens Next?
Authorities are still piecing together the details.
While Bright Aweh Roberts has been identified as the person who called Stephen to the meeting, his involvement in the murder has not been confirmed as of the time of reporting.
The investigation continues, and the hope now is for justice to be served — for Stephen, his grieving family, and all those who put their trust in the wrong hands.
