The alleged murder of a businesswoman in Sokoban, a suburb of Kumasi on Friday, September 8, 2023, has led to the arrest of the prime suspect, John Allister, who was employed as a house help by the victim’s family.
Afua Ahenkan, also known as Princess Afua, was allegedly stabbed several times by the young man she hired from an agency barely one month ago.
Her lifeless body was discovered in the garage of her home at Apaaso on Tuesday, September 12, a day after she had been killed.
Though information on the killing is scanty, reports suggest that she is the daughter-in-law of former Ghana Black Stars and Asante Kotoko legend, Reverend Osei Kofi.
Madam Ahenkan is said to have hired the services of the suspect to support her business since her husband is domiciled in the United Kingdom.
The suspect is said to have attacked the deceased while she was on a phone call.
The wild cry for help by the deceased is said to have raised the suspicion of the caller at the other end who then travelled to her house after several phone calls later went unanswered.
Reports say the suspect dragged her lifeless body into the garage and bolted with his madam’s car, money and other belongings.
Police investigators from the Ashanti Central Regional Command have visited the crime scene.
Police then launched a manhunt for the suspect whilst the body was deposited at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital morgue awaiting autopsy.
