Mankessim murder: Accused chief alive and in custody – Police dismiss death reports

Police have denied that an accused person in the case involving the murder of a nursing student has died in custody.

News had started circulating on some social media channels that Nana Clark Onyaa, the chief who is currently being held with a co-accused had died in custody after taking slow poison.

“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,” a statement dated September 24 read in part.

The police, thus, asked the general public to dismiss the death report with the contempt it deserves.
