OHEMENG WAS MURDERED-AUTOPSY REPORT

-



An autopsy conducted on the body of the 45-year old Akwasi Ohemeng, a royal of Besease in the Ejisu-Juaben Municipality of Ashanti region has revealed that Ohemeng died of three main causes including Haemorrhagic shock or excessive bleeding. 

The Post-Mortem, which was carried out on the 3rd of this month at the Emena Hospital Mortuary, was conducted by a Pathologist from the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. 

The Autopsy Report, a copy of which has been intercepted by Ashanti Today, has identified that Ohemeng died also from mass haemoperineum or accumulation of blood in the abdomen as well as of traumatic rupture of the right kidney which otherwise means that his right kidney got burst. 

The Report concluded emphatically that Ohemeng died out of unnatural causes and has therefore been communicated to the Ashanti regional C.I.D. to help in their investigation to unravel the actual circumstances surrounding the death of the 45-year old man. 

Akwasi Ohemeng was alleged to have been clubbed to unconsciousness in the house of the chief of Besease on Christmas day during a scuffle with some opinion leaders of the town, over a tree he had reportedly felled at the public cemetery for sale.

 About seven persons including the chief of Besease, Nana Akwasi Akyampong, were arrested by the Ejisu Police. 

However, five of them, including Nana Akwasi Akyampong, were later released on bail, while two have been remanded into Police custody by an Asokwa District Court pending Police investigations into the matter. 

At the maiden hearing of the case, the Magistrate, Owusu Achiaw Korkor, refused an application for bail by Counsel for the accused on grounds that the recent Supreme Court annulment of part of the Criminal Offences Code relating to bail for all offences does not cover the District and Family Courts and therefore asked the Counsel to seek the bail at the High Court. 

The two being held in connection with the suspected murder of Akwasi Ohemeng are Kwaku Asamoah, said to be the Gyasehene, and Unit Committee Chairman of the town, Kwaku Amoah. 

The case is due for a second hearing on the 12th of this month.

Meanwhile, the family of the deceased are up in arms with the Police for trying to let off Nana Akwasi Akampong whom they claim cannot be implicated in the suspected murder case.

The family alleges that the whole drama surrounding the physical attack of their their deceased relative was initiated by the chief while the assault on him was done right before him.

He can therefore not escape from the law based on their circumstantial proof.

At the premises of the Asokwa District Court during the first hearing to secure a Bill of Indictment for the murder trial of the suspects, the family members present fumed with rage over what was contained in the Charge Sheet suggesting that their late beloved was only hit on the arm with a stick, which Counsel for the suspects argued meant there was no pre-meditation to kill Ohemeng hence pleaded for bail for the two suspects.

THE STATE OF KUMASI'S 'INDUSTRIAL AREA

-
The once Industrial enclave of the Ashanti region within the Kumasi metropolis is fast losing its status as the nerve centre of jobs for the people.     This is due to the collapse of most of the companies in quick succession in  the last few years for various reasons. Background Industrialization was a key component of the first wholly indigenous government of Ghana led by Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The Ashanti region was not left out in this drive which was meant to create decent jobs for the residents, particularly the youth.  Asokwa, Ahinsan, Kaase, Atonsu and Kyirapatre were the communities that became what is known as the ‘Industrial Area’ of Ashanti from the early 60s.  The christening of this enclave as the ‘Industrial Area’ was the people’s appreciation of the numerous state and privately owned companies that were sited there.  These communities fall within present day Asokwa Constituency whic...

KWAMANG SHS NEEDS URGENT HELP

New Campus of the Kwamang Presby SHS The Kwamang Presby Senior High/Technical School in the Sekyere Central district of Ashanti needs an urgent external intervention to address some of its pressing basic needs to function very well.  A visit by Ashanti Today to the school’s premises revealed that the school does not have an administrative block to administer affairs of the school for which reason the Headmistress, the Bursar and another staff are sharing one room which has been partitioned, while the Assistant Headmaster, the rest of the Accounts staff among other administrative officers are also working from an improvised classroom. Anybody who visits the Kwamang Presby Senior High Technical school for the first time will unavoidably take it for a basic school.  This is more so when it appears to be perching on the premises of the local Junior High School as its old site.  The school is wallowing in a myriad of challenges that are seriously milit...
