The gruesome triple homicide that shook the Tuba Net-Link Estates in Kasoa, Central Region, in May 2024, has finally seen a breakthrough with the arrest of the prime suspect, Samuel Amoah, also known as Biggie. Amoah, who was in a romantic relationship with the deceased, Alberta Hagan, is accused of brutally murdering her and two of her children in a fit of rage stemming from financial disputes. The horrific scene discovered by responding police officers painted a picture of unimaginable violence: the lifeless bodies of 39-year-old Alberta and two of her children lay in their bedroom, submerged in a pool of blood, victims of severe head injuries. A third child, also suffering from severe head trauma, clung to life and was rushed to the hospital, while a five-month-old infant miraculously survived the carnage, discovered unharmed on a living room sofa. This heinous act sent shockwaves through the community, leaving a trail of grief and unanswered questions in its wake.
The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, led by COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, immediately launched a comprehensive investigation into the murders. The evidence quickly pointed to Amoah as the primary suspect. The deteriorating relationship between him and Alberta, punctuated by escalating financial disagreements, provided a strong motive for the crime. It appeared that in a moment of uncontrolled fury, Amoah attacked Alberta, and subsequently her two children who witnessed the initial assault. Following the murders, Amoah vanished, becoming a fugitive from justice for over a year. His disappearance initiated a relentless manhunt, with law enforcement agencies tirelessly pursuing leads and employing various investigative techniques to track him down.
The pursuit of Amoah required sustained dedication and meticulous intelligence gathering. The CID embarked on a prolonged, intelligence-led operation, meticulously piecing together clues and following every possible lead. This involved extensive surveillance, analysis of communication records, and collaboration with various informants and community members. The relentless efforts of the investigative team ultimately led them to Suhum in the Eastern Region, where Amoah had been hiding. After more than a year on the run, his evasion finally came to an end on September 17, 2025, when he was apprehended by the authorities. His capture marked a significant victory in the pursuit of justice for Alberta Hagan and her children.
Following his arrest, Amoah was taken into custody and subjected to rigorous interrogation. Confronted with the overwhelming evidence against him, he confessed to the murders, admitting his culpability in the horrific act. He expressed remorse for his actions, a stark contrast to the brutality displayed on that fateful day in May 2024. While his confession provides a degree of closure, it does little to assuage the profound grief and loss suffered by the surviving family members and the community as a whole. The investigation continues, with Amoah cooperating with the police to provide further details surrounding the circumstances of the murders.
The Ghana Police Service, under the leadership of COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring justice is served in this harrowing case. The meticulous investigation, the relentless pursuit of the suspect, and the subsequent confession represent a significant step towards bringing closure to the victims’ families. The police have assured the public that they are treating this case with the utmost urgency and professionalism, leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to build a strong case against Amoah. The upcoming legal proceedings will be closely followed by the nation, as the justice system seeks to hold Amoah accountable for his heinous actions.
The tragic events at Tuba Net-Link Estates serve as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of domestic violence and uncontrolled rage. The senseless loss of Alberta Hagan and her two children underscores the urgent need for continued efforts to address the root causes of such violence and to provide support and resources for those affected by domestic abuse. The hope is that the successful apprehension and prosecution of Samuel Amoah will not only bring justice to the victims and their families but also serve as a deterrent to others who might contemplate such horrific acts. This case highlights the importance of vigilance, community support, and the unwavering dedication of law enforcement in pursuing justice and ensuring the safety and well-being of all citizens.
