According to Yeboah’s account, the deceased was allegedly stabbed by her house help, whom she had recruited barely a month ago.
He noted that the “The family of Reverend Osei Kofi is in deep sorrow now because the wife of his London-based son has been killed.
The man wanted his wife to have the freedom to undertake her business activities so recruited a house help through an agency’’.
“The name of the house help was John Alister and he was paying him through the agency. On Friday, she was having a conversation with her friend when the friend heard her scream that she had been stabbed. The phone went dead and her number went off so the following day the friend sent a police team to the house in Kumasi,” he said.
“Upon getting to the house, they realized that the dog in the house had been released and the body of the lady was lying in the garage. The car in the garage had been driven away by the house help,” he said.
