The Police has established that the Ex-Vodafone lady, Kate Okyere, 46, was killed for money.
She was murdered 24 hours after she had cashed an amount of GH¢6,000 from a bank for a building Superintendent Baffour Apenteng, Crime Officer at the Odorkor District Police Command, told the Times in an interview yesterday, that the police suspected that Kate might have been trailed by the criminals from the bank to her house and returned later to attack her.
Supt. Apenteng said the assailants might have been in a group because the rooms were ransacked, with beds, and carpets raised and drawers pulled out, an indication that they were looking for something.
"This could not have been done by one person. The deceased would have struggled with him and there would have been bruises on her body," he added.
The Crime Officer said the deceased might have known her assailants, hence the murder.
He said investigations were ongoing to arrest the culprits.
The Times yesterday, February 10, reported that Kate Okyere a single mother of two, who used to work with Vodafone Ghana Limited, had been strangled to death.
The Odorkor District Police Commander, Superintendent Ebenezer Kweku Asare, told the Times in Accra on Wednesday, that Kate's younger sister informed the police of the murder at about 5 pm on Tuesday.
The sister said she returned home from work at about 4.30 pm to find Kate's lifeless body.
He said a team of police officers who were dispatched to the house found the body in a supine position in the sitting room, with a rope around her neck and blood oozing from her nostrils but there were no bruises on the body. Her bedroom had been ransacked.
Police suspect she might have been murdered in the bedroom and brought to the hall, Supt. Asare said, adding that they believed some items had been stolen from the room.
