Confession
According to the prosecution James allegedly confirmed his involvement in the murder of Prof Benneh who was killed in his Adjiriganor home near East Legon on September 10, 2020.
James is alleged to have named Opambour Agya Badu Nkansah and one other person as his accomplices.
The court presided over by Eleanor Barnes Botchway, issued a bench warrant for the arrest of the third suspect.
According to the prosecutor, Inspector Ebenezer Teye-Okuffo, a post-mortem indicated that the university law lecturer died from homicide.
They are to reappear on October 14.
Earlier the prosecution had withdrawn its earlier charge sheets and replaced with a new which did not name the three discharged persons as having a case to answer.
He was found dead in his home Saturday morning. He was believed to have been murdered on Thursday night.
But police picked up his body from his East Legon home on Saturday.
Prof. Benneh had retired from the university but worked on contract and lived alone in his mansion at East Legon, not far from American House.
There was no sign of a break-in.
However, one Isaac Botchway, who said he was the late law professor’s houseboy said the last time he spoke to him was on Thursday at about 8 pm.
Mr Botchway said he lived in Accra Central and Mr Benneh normally called him whenever he needed him to run errands for him.
Isaac Botchway was later picked up by the police as a suspect.
“When the door was forced open, he was found dead,” he said.
His hands and legs were all tied, and his body was found in a pool of blood between the bedroom and the living room.
There were signs of a struggle in the room prior to his death.
Although the crime scene has been cleaned, there were splashes of blood on the floor.
