Family demands justice as two police officers allegedly beat 17-year-old boy to death

Two police officers have been accused of beating to death a washing bay attendant at a washing bay in Mamanso.

Samuel Boateng, a.k.a. Kwasi, 17, was indentified as the victim.

The deceased’s family has requested that the case be investigated by the police.

Emmanuel, the deceased’s brother, told Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm that the officers allegedly attacked him because they claimed he had disrespected them.

He claimed that the sibling was in excruciating pain and was transported to the hospital, where he reportedly died.

He described how the officers drove their car to the facility and instructed Kwasi to wash it.

Kwasi, on the other hand, declined to wash the automobile because they (the police) do not pay for such services.

Water was splashed on the officers while Kwasi was working on another vehicle, so he (Kwasi) apologised and the officers left.

However, it was alleged that a colleague called the officers and told them Kwasi had insulted them.

As a result, the officers allegedly returned and beat Kwasi.

Emmanuel revealed that, although the owner of the washing bay witnessed the incident, he has denied seeing it.

“The owner of the washing bay witnessed what happened,” he claimed. He called my mother and told her that the officers had attacked my brother. But he’s changed his story and claims he didn’t see what happened.”
