Murder: Two women on the run

One of the women, identified as Manu Kezia Diana, who is said to be a girlfriend of the deceased, was captured on closed-circuit television (CCTV) entering and exiting the deceased’s hotel room on the day of the incident with an unidentified woman.

Housekeeper finds body

Browne, 59, an agricultural consultant from Wye, Kent, was found dead in his hotel room by a housekeeper who had gone to clean the room on September 29, 2014.

About 10 a.m. that day, the female housekeeper was said to have seen bloodstains leading to room number 234 where Mr Browne was lodging.

Mr Browne had checked into the room on September 27, 2014 and was last seen by the hotel staff on September 28, 2014.

The housekeeper told the police that she knocked on his door but there was no response and when the room was opened the body of the deceased was discovered in the bathroom.

A security supervisor at Paloma Hotel in Accra, where the incident happened, lodged a complaint at the Nima Police Station.

Body flown to UK

The Head of the Homicide Unit of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Deputy Superintendant of Police Mr William Sedoame, told the Daily Graphic that investigations had revealed that the two women were the last to visit Mr Browne on the day of the incident.

He said in October 2014, a postmortem examination was conducted on the body of the deceased at the 37 Military Hospital and the cause of death pointed to haemorrhagic shock and multiple knife wounds.

He said a sample of the blood, stomach contents and the liver were later sent to the Ghana Standards Authority for toxicology analysis.

The body, he said, was later flown to the United Kingdom for interment.

A UK-based news network, KentOnline, reported on October 17, 2014 that an inquest indicated that a postmortem examination carried out in Ashford, the UK, revealed that Mr Browne had died primarily from multiple stab wounds
