The son of Bishop Elisha Salifu Amoako has been sentenced to six months at the Senior Correctional Center for the killing of two persons at East Legon.
He was convicted of manslaughter of the two people after driving into another vehicle, where the two victims died instantly.
The pastor’s son earlier pleaded not guilty to the charges of manslaughter, negligently causing harm, dangerous driving, and driving without a license.
But he later changed his plea to guilty, leading to his conviction.
He is to report to probation officers every two weeks as part of the sentence, and has also been made to sign an undertaking not to drive again till he attains the legal age of 18.
His parents, in a separate ruling, were also fined 500 penalty units each (equivalent to GHC 6,000) for their failure to properly supervise their son.
They were also instructed to pay for the damages caused in the accident, including a light pole valued at GHC 8,000.
Police refute claims Salifu Amoako’s son is not kept at Osu Correctional Centre
