Danquah’s autopsy report"},"content":{"rendered":"
The autopsy report of the late Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North, J.B. Danquah-Adu, has finally been presented to the court after several months of delay.<\/p>\n
The report, the details of which are unknown, have been presented to the judge, according to information from the court registry.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”PUn2crT1ti4ciasnXiaO8ecuyfiTTjPg”]On January 4, 2018, the pathologist who conducted the autopsy, Dr. Lawrence Edusei, stirred some controversy when he\u00a0told the court that\u00a0the\u00a0report was\u00a0missing.<\/p>\n
He explained that thieves broke into his house and bolted with some of his belongings, including a computer which contained thousands of autopsy reports.<\/p>\n
Dr. Edusei had been subpoenaed in November 2017\u00a0 to explain why he had not furnished the police with the full autopsy report almost two years after Mr. Danquah-Adu was murdered.<\/p>\n
The two accused persons in the murder are Daniel Asiedu and Vincent Bosso.<\/p>\n
Asiedu is alleged to have stabbed the late MP in the chest with a knife in his residence at Shiashie, near East Legon. Bosso is said to have helped Asiedu scale the wall of the house after committing the crime.<\/p>\n
Police have said the delay in the release of the report has hampered their efforts to build a solid case against the two murder suspects.<\/p>\n
In the period since his death, Ivy Danquah-Adu, the wife of the late MP, expressed dismay with the delay in prosecuting her late husband\u2019s supposed killers.<\/p>\n
