The three people arrested in connection with the murder of the British/American Missionary, Rev. Sidney Thomas Barnes, will be put before court in Accra Tuesday, a police source has told the Times. They are Kofi Seidu, 31, driver, (Rev) Padmore Goodwill, caretaker of the Prestige Secretarial and Computer School at Koforidua, which was established by Rev. Barnes, and Issaka, a former employee of the school. The three were arrested by the police last week to assist in investigations following the discovery of the body of the missionary in an abandoned well on a farm owned by Rev Barnes at Akwamu-Amanfo, near Adoagyiri-Nsawam in the Eastern Region. Rev. Barnes, 75 reportedly disappeared after arrival at the Kotoka International AirPort (KIA) on a British Airways flight on March 18. On March 19, Seidu who had gone to the airport to pick him up on that day, was said to have informed Padmore on March 19 that he could not find Rev. Barnes at the airport. But it took three months before Padmore reported the disappearance of the missionary to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) headquarters, Accra. Following this, personnel of INTERPOL interrogated both Padmore and Seidu but they denied knowledge of Rev. Barnes' whereabouts. This compelled the police to do a thorough check of the March 18 manifest of the Ghana Immigration Service at the KIA which confirmed that Rev. Barnes did I arrived on March 18 at 10:02 pm on a British Airways flight number 0081 and subsequently checked out. This made the police to invite Padmore and Seidu again to assist in investigation. Seidu was detained for further interrogation which led to his confession to the murder of Rev Barnes with the assistance of Issaka. Seidu told the police that they carried out the heinous crime on the instructions of Padmore. He led police investigation and pathologists from the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital to the farm at Akwamu-Amanfo where the body was exhumed and deposited at the Korle-Bu Hospital morgue. The Ghanaian Times on many occasions last month and early this month, published stories about the disappearance of the missionary, quoting the International Police Organisation (INTERPOL) Ghana. Police efforts to get to the bottom Of the matter yielded results when an informant said he read the story in the Tunes about tire disappearance of the missionary and subsequently contacted the police. At a news conference in Accra last week, the Director-General of the CID, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Prosper Agblor, said Seidu picked up Rev. Barnes from the Airport on March 18, using a car with registration number, WR418P. "Instead of sending him (Barnes) to Koforidua, Seidu murdered him at Adawso and took the body to Akwamu-Amanfo, near Nsawam and buried it on a farm belonging to the deceased", he said. He said police investigations also revealed that Seidu had gold the vehicle in which he drove Rev. Barnes from the airport, to somebody at Sefwi Wiawso in the Western Region. The vehicle also belonged to Rey. Barnes. Source: Ghanaian Times
