The Police Service has denied reports that the Tufuhen of Ekumfi Akwakrom, Nana Clark Onyaa, who is being held in police custody in connection with the murder of a 25-year-old aspiring nurse, Georgina Asor Botchwey, in Mankessim, is dead.

According to the Service, its outfit has sighted reports indicating that the accused person has passed away.

The police, in response to these reports, indicated in a Facebook post that 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. “

On Wednesday, September 21, at his hiding place in Akwa Krom in the Ekumfi District, Nana Clark Onyaa was apprehended and later detained by the Mankessim District Police Command.

This occurred after pastor Michael Darko, the alleged boyfriend of the deceased’s senior sister, was apprehended and later admitted to assisting the chief in the abduction, killing, and covert burying of the deceased.

The deceased resided in Yeji, in the Bono East Region. Per reports, she travelled to Cape Coast in the Central Region since she was an applicant seeking admission to the Ankaful Psychiatric Nursing School.

Upon arrival, she placed a call to Michael Darko, informing him about her presence in the area.

Chilling details of how she was murdered indicate that on September 9, the two suspects picked up the deceased in a taxi after her entrance interview and took her to Pedu intersection in Cape Coast.

The chief reportedly placed the deceased in his Benz and drove her to Akwaakrom, where he took her iPhone and locked her up in a room.

On September 10, 2022, Georgina Asor Botchwey’s brother, Alfred Duodu, reported her missing after several failed attempts to reach her call number.

The complaint resulted in the arrest of Michael Darko, who confessed and thereafter led police officers to the site where the 25-year-old was buried.

Meanwhile, the deceased’s body has been placed in the morgue at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital for preservation and autopsy.

The two suspects who admitted to committing the heinous act will appear in court again on October 4, 2022.
