The court ordered Owusu to report himself to the police and submit his passport to the court registry within three days.
However, the court reviewed the bail condition of the other suspects, Ignatius Baffour-Awuah, the former Minister of Employment and Labour Relations, Joseph Kyeremeh, Elizabeth Akosua Ntiwaa and Yaa Asantewaa, allowing them to either travel or leave Sunyani on their own without any judicial restrictions.
They have been charged with abetment to commit crime, to wit murder and they were to report themselves to the police once every week.
They would reappear before on March 10.
When the case was heard, the court denied bail to three other suspects, Isaac Fosu, Augustine Yeboah and Yaw Koshy, and ordered the police to keep them in custody.
They had also been charged with murder and were expected to re-appear on March 3.
The court heard that another suspect, Braimer also charged with murder was on the run.
