A 16-year-old boy has been formally charged with manslaughter following a tragic accident in East Legon that resulted in two fatalities.

Due to legal protections, the juvenile’s identity remains confidential. He faces a total of eight charges, including manslaughter, negligent harm, dangerous driving and operating a vehicle without a license.

The youth appeared before Accra’s Family and Juvenile Court on November 1, 2024, where he entered a not-guilty plea to all charges. The court ordered his remand to a correctional facility and required him to surrender his American and Ghanaian passports.

His next court appearance is scheduled for November 7.
