The Ghana police service has debunked claims that, the traditional ruler in Mankessim murder case being investigated has passed on.
According to the police, report circulating of the chief involved in the prospective student-nurse murder should be treated with contempt as there is not truth in it.
“The chief and his accomplice who were remanded into police custody by the court to reappear on October 4, 2022, are alive and in custody.
“We, therefore, urge the public to treat the report with the contempt it deserves,” the Police said in a statement on Saturday.
The body of Georgina Asor Botchwey was exhumed by the pastor and police investigators on Tuesday in the room of Nana Clark Onyaa, the chief who is the Tufuhen of Ekumfi Akwakrom.
According to sources, the chief, who is also the president of the Mankessim Traders Association, and his accomplice, kidnapped the nurse after engaging in sexual acts with her.
The pastor was arrested in Cape Coast and admitted to the crime.
He then led the police to the chief’s residence, where the victim’s body was exhumed.
The victim’s body was reportedly buried nearly three weeks ago. Along with the body, the victim’s bag, shoes, and other possessions were also found at the chief’s house.
