But according to the police, they are yet to make a final determination on the cause of death.
The acting Director-General of Police Public Affairs Department, ACP Kwesi Ofori, in an interview with Citi News’ Anass Seidu said a report of the team of experts led by the CID boss, COP Ken Yeboah, which is currently in the area to pick vital information and investigate the issue will determine the police’s next line of action.
He noted that some useful leads have already been picked up.
“They [the team] also contacted witnesses and spoke to a number of police officers, among others. They also extended their investigations to other areas like the home of the deceased and her boyfriend was in the apartment at the time, and he was invited to the police station to assist in the investigation. The hotel manager, Mr. Nimo, and the boyfriend are at the police station assisting the police ,” he said.
He added that “the lady, in the morning, at the time of leaving her residence, collected her boyfriend’s car key and drove off to town. As we speak, there’s no trace of the vehicle and the lady’s mobile phone. When the police contacted her mobile phone, an unknown voice said the lady owes him an amount of GHS 28,000.”
ACP Kwesi Ofori said the police is currently trying to track down the user of the deceased’s phone and seeking information on the whereabouts of her boyfriend’s black Hyundai Elantra vehicle.
