Police in the Asante Effiduase District of the Ashanti Region have demanded a Coroner’s Inquest into the manner and cause of death of Kumasi-based journalist, Confidence Eric Kwadwo Baah, who passed away on Sunday, 16 October.
District Police Commander DSP Douglas Kumah told Chief Jerry Forson on Accra100.5FM’s breakfast show Ghana Yensom on Monday, 17 October that the Coroner’s Inquest is important because the deceased was not ill 24 hours before his death.
DSP Kumah said the police will see their way clearly about how to proceed with investigations into the matter after they have got the Coroner’s report.
He confirmed that Confidence’s girlfriend is currently in the custody of the police assisting with investigations because she was the last person who was with the deceased before his death.
Florence Osei, also known as Afua Birago, allegedly spent most of Saturday with Confidence before he was found unconscious in his room by his aunt on Sunday. After being rushed to the Emergency Unit of the Effiduase Government Hospital, the Kessben TV and Radio Presenter was pronounced dead.
The police say they will continue interrogating Birago today and decide whether to grant her bail or take process her for court. No charges have been preferred against her yet.
