Security analyst Adam Bonaa has described as suspicious the death of a key suspect in the ongoing case of the murdered University of Ghana Lecturer, Prof. Yaw Benneh.
Kasapa News sources say the suspect died at the Police Hospital in Accra on Saturday while on oxygen. Nana Womba who was a cleaner in the house of the deceased confessed to his involvement in the murder of the Law Professor.
Speaking to Starr News, Adam Bonaa stated that the circumstances surrounding the death of the suspect leave him with many unanswered questions.
“As far as I’m concerned, having the key suspect in this particular case losing his life in this manner I will call it a bit suspicious. One would have thought that such an important suspect who has given you a confession statement according to the police, you would handle this person like an egg because you know that if it cracks you are in trouble. If the person decides that I’m not going to cooperate with you then you are in trouble. So you can just imagine this person, unfortunately, we are told has lost his life. When did he become sick, what did he die of, was he sick already? Because there were images of him on social media leaving court I think the last time they went to court.”
Background
At the last court sitting, three out of the four persons who were arrested in relation to the death of the University of Ghana law lecturer, Professor Emmanuel Yaw Benneh, were discharged.
The three discharged were, Christian Pobee, 32, cleaner; Isaac Botchwey, 41, houseboy; cleaner; and Adams Mensah Mansur, 52, gardener.
They were provisionally charged with murder.
At the last court sitting, prosecution led by Inspector Ebenezer Teye-Okuffo, withdrew the earlier charge and substituted with the new one.
He told the court that, their investigations did not incriminate the three persons and prayed for them to be discharged.
He said Womba upon investigation confessed of conspiring with Nkansah and two others who are on the run to committee the crime.
The prosecutor, Inspector Ebenezer Teye-Okuffo, asked the court to remand them as investigations were still ongoing in the case.
The charges were read to them but the pleas of the accused persons were not taken.
