Today marks exactly 43 years since a dark chapter in Ghana's history, when three High Court Judges and a retired military officer were brutally murdered by soldiers during the era of the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC), led by the late former President Jerry John Rawlings, in 1982.

Justices Cecilia Koranteng-Addow, Frederick Poku Sarkodee, and Kwadwo Agyei Agyapong, along with Major Sam Acquah (rtd), were abducted from their homes on Wednesday, June 30, 1982.

They were subsequently killed and their bodies set ablaze at the Bundase Military Training Camp.

Reports indicate that the perpetrators used gasoline to torch the bodies in an attempt to conceal their crime; however, a dawn rain prevented the bodies from burning to ashes.
