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.
