...We’re doing our best
The Ghanaian Times and the Daily Graphic carry front-page stories on Tuesday’s press conference by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr Peter Nanfuri to address issues related to recent murder of women that has pushed the number of such deaths to 30 since 1997.
Times quotes the IGP as saying that a white and yellow taxi-cab, Hyundai Excel GR 5109, is believed by the police to hold the key to unravelling the mystery around the latest string of murders.
He however suspected that the vehicle might have been re- sprayed by now or the number plate might have been criminally changed.
The IGP renewed the Police Administration’s appeal to the public for vital information that would lead to the arrest of the serial killers of women in the Accra Metropolis.
He said the police had handed over the dockets of some cases that it had completed investigations on to the Attorney-General’s Department. The Graphic also carries that the Police Administration stated during the conference that its inability to unravel the mystery surrounding the killings or the perpetrators behind it should not be misconstrued as a weakness or incompetence on their part.
He said the latest incident on the Spintex Road has compelled the police to broaden its scope of investigations to get to the bottom of the matter since it appears the matter is beyond the world of mere criminals.
In yet another capture on the paper’s front-page, the IGP Nanfuri stated that it would be defeatist and an act of cowardice for him or any top officer of the Police Administration to resign over the inability of the police to apprehend the brains behind the killing of women in the metropolis.
