Akwei?s mystery death

The Accra Mail, a newly outdoored weekly news paper, in its maiden edition revisits the murder of Dr. Clement Akwei, former Greater Accra Regional director of the Veterinary Services.

In a banner headline ?Akwei?s mystery death?, the paper reports that two years after the murder, the police have not been able to catch the culprits.

The paper quotes the Police Public Relations Director, Deputy Superintendant A. Awuni, as saying the police has still not identified the murderers because the public has not volunteered information, despite the five million cedis tag placed on the killers.

It will be recalled that Dr. Akwei was brutally murdered in November 1997 at Cantonments, one of Accra?s finest residential areas, in a swift morning operation described by crime experts as the work of a well-trained murder squad.
