The Dansoman police have now established that the 72- year-old pensioner who was murdered recently at Dansoman Estate, in Accra, was killed by his grandson and three others.Mr Emmanuel Ayeh, was murdered in broad daylight robbery on February 29 at his residence near the area known as Zodiac.Superintendent Alex Yartey Tawiah, Dansoman District Police Commander, who disclosed this to the Times yesterday, said even though the prime suspect, the grandson, Emmanuel Ayeh Asare, 30, popularly known as "K.B.", and his accomplices are on the run, the police are closing in on them.He said undercover policemen traced Ayeh to Adukrom in the Eastern Region but he fled before he could be arrested and he is believed to be hiding in Somanya.Supt. Tawiah said what lends credence to Asare’s involvement in the murder is that he has not been seen since the murder.A few days before the murder, K.B., who lived elsewhere, was said to have had a misunderstanding with his grandfather during a visit.At the appropriate time, the police will have Asare’s picture published in the newspapers, to enable the general public to assist in his arrest, Supt. Tawiah said.He said a post mortem report said the pensioner died from suffocation and strangulation.He is yet to be buried.In carrying out their gruesome act, the robbers tied the arms, legs and neck of the victim with flexible wire and strangled him to death.\They are said to have ransacked a couple of rooms and made away with an unspecified number of valuables and personal effect including cloths, a mobile phone and a DVD player.They apparently entered the house through the house behind it, at a time when nobody was at home in that house.It is believed that, a struggle had ensued between the assailants and their victim, a recovering cancer patient, who had returned home from hospital and chanced upon the robbers in the act.Upon his return from the hospital, around lunch time, Mr Ayeh, who saw the door to his room ajar, is said to have rang his daughter at work and enquired from her as to whether she had come back to the house.Supt. Tawiah said at the time, "in this robbery, which occurred in the afternoon, the police are not ruling out an internal orchestration."By all intents and purposes, investigations revealed that, the robbery/murder occurred in the afternoon but the crime was not detected until about 6 p.m.," he said.Source: The Ghanaian Times
