The family of slain Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) Manager, Mrs Josephine Tandoh Asante, has literally put the Attorney General’s Office on notice, pending the arrival of the docket on the matter from the headquarters of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).
It requires that the police, after completion of their investigation into the alleged murder case, forward the docket to the Attorney General’s Office for advice.
In the afternoon of Tuesday January 16, 2024 a delegation from the Afamunam Aboradze family of Cape Coast, led by Mrs Monica Aubyn, emerged at the offices of the Attorney General.
Each member of the five-member delegation held placard with the inscription: ‘JUSTICE FOR JOSEPHINE ASANTE’.
Mrs Aubyn, who spoke to The Chronicle, states that their move to the Law Office was as a result of information that the docket on the case was yet to be forwarded to the Attorney General for perusal and advice.
This, she said, contradicts what is public knowledge about the case.
Earlier on the same day, the family was at the Police Headquarters to present a petition to the Inspector General of Police.
The petition states that: Saturday January 13, 2024 was exactly five years since Mrs Josephine Asante was murdered in cold blood in her home, at the Emefs Hillview Estates (Afienya).
The Police took up the investigation of the case, but unfortunately the investigation seemed to be going nowhere, until your appointment as the Inspector General of Police in 2021.
You constituted the Cold Case Unit (CCU) of the Police and you introduced the family to the newly formed unit for which we remain grateful for the initiative and gesture.
In March, 2023 the CCU made a breakthrough in the investigation, resulting in the arrest of two suspects, Kwabena Boateng, aka Richard Kwabena Kwakye and Dominic Owusu.
Our information is that, the police, who have concluded their investigation are only waiting for a forensic analysis report on crucial evidence collected from those being held to enable the docket to be forwarded to the Attorney General’s Office.
Unfortunately, this report is not forthcoming for no apparent reasons.
