Sylvester Ofori sentenced to life
Ghanaian journalist Kofi Adoma Nwanwani, who shared footage of the court proceedings, reported that Sylvester Ofori had been sentenced to life imprisonment.
The ruling confirmed that the 39-year-old spiritual son of renowned televangelist Prophet Elisha Salifu Amoako premeditated the crime.
Prophet Amoako said he visited Sylvester and his wife before the murder and described the crime as a calculated witchcraft attack.
The court's decision was based on several reasons implicating Sylvester Ofori, including his purchase of a firearm 12 days before the crime and a shooting drill kit found in his house.
Ofori refused a plea deal to accept his guilt and received a jail term of 50 years last year as he showed no remorse for the crime.
In Kofi Adoma Nwanwani's report, the embattled Sylvester Ofori exhibited questionable behaviour, especially after one of his trips to Ghana.
