An Angry youth of Nana Fodoo Kofrom, a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, clashed with police Tuesday morning after an autopsy report on a 22-year-old man exonerated police from any wrong doing.

Luv FM’s Kwasi Debrah, reports that police fired tear gas to disperse the angry protesters who pelted the police with stones and other objects.

Four people have been arrested.

The youth claim the autopsy report, which was signed by Dr. Osei Sampene of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, does not reflect the actual cause of death.

The victim, Osei Tawiah, was allegedly beaten to a pulp and tasered to death by some policemen Thursday, May 26.

Eye-witnesses say Tawiah was mistaken for one of two suspects the policemen were chasing.

Three police officers reportedly hit Tawiah with the butt of their guns and tasered him many times until he fell unconscious and later died.

The policemen reportedly deposited Osei’s lifeless body at the Manhyia Hospital without going through the necessary paperwork.

The autopsy report released Monday, May 30, says Osei died of congestive heart failure, however, no indication was made about the cause of the fatal heart problem.

The angry youth says the report failed to mention the alleged brutality against the victim because of a deliberate attempt by the Komfo Anokye Hospital to shield the personnel from wrongdoing.

Although calm has returned to Nana Fodoo Kofrom, family and friends of Osei Tawiah say until the police personnel are made to face to law, they will evoke curses on the law enforcers.

The autopsy report from the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospitl is published below:
