The prime suspect is one Eliasah Mahama Akpanyikye, who is said to have conspired with his girlfriend, Belinda Miller, to kill Johnson. The prosecution also asked the court to aqcuit seven suspects earlier arrested.

There were initial claims that Johnson's death may be linked to chieftaincy issues in the Jirapa District.

Akpanyikye, Miller and one other suspect, Kweku Kumbata, were remanded.

According to reports, Akpanyikye was sacked for allegedly having inappropriate sexual relationships with some staff.

According to the prosecution, records on February 10, 2024, showed that Akpanyikye called Miller many times, asking her where he could find the master key to Johnson’s room.

He is believed to have entered Johnson’s room and stabbed him to death. He also made away with some money and Johnson's car key and fled Jirapa to Takoradi.
