Family of murder victim assault Police in court

Hell broke loose at the Kumasi Circuit Tribunal on Tuesday, July 3, when the family of the late Madam Afua Tutuwaa of Krofrom, physically attacked the police who were present to maintain law and order, after the court proceedings.

Policewoman Corporal Awo Dede of the court unit of the Kumasi Police, had her thumb bitten, while Inspector Benson Addo of the central Police Station had his male organ pulled. Inspector Addo had to punch the abdomen of one Madam Akosua Addae who was pulling his male organ before she released it.

The attack on the police came shortly after the Kumasi Circuit Tribunal adjourned to July 26, 2001 the case in which the family of the late Afua Tutuwaa accused the founder and leader of the Ebenezer Adarkwa Yiadom and two of his ushers, Afua Akyaa and Kofi Boadi for manhandling their daughter, Tutuwaa resulting in her death.
