JB Danquah Murder: Sandal Of Fleeing Assailant Found
A sandal of the assailant who is suspected to have
stabbed Abuakwa North MP, Joseph Boakye Danquah
Adu, to death has been found.

The unknown killer was fleeing the scene of the
murder which was committed upstairs and hopped out
of the house. He jumped off a polytank close to
the wall behind the Shiashie home of the slain
politician when the sandal fell off, Abuakwa South
MP Samuel Atta Akyea told Joy FM’s Top Story.

The blood stained footprints on the wall can be
spotted, tracing the assailants escape as security
men stood helplessly during the attack.

JB Danquah Adu was stabbed first in the rib while
he slept in bed, his brother George Twum Barimah
told Atta Akyea.

After some moments of resistance a second stab in
the abdomen sealed his fate.

Atta Akyea, a close friend of the deceased
politician criticised the security detail at JB
Danquah's residence for being lax.

According to him, the security man saw a ladder
stretched across the wall in front of the house at
least an hour before the politician returned home
Tuesday dawn.

The father of two entered his home and his bedroom
upstairs while his family were downstairs asleep.

.
Atta Akyea said the security men while making
nocturnal rounds saw shifty movements in the
politician's bedroom. The suspected assailant
moved a curtain and closed the window.

the politician’s bedroom

But the security men were afraid and made no
attempt to close in on the attacker, Atta Akyea
continued. Although they called in the police, no
further attempt was made while the security
officers were yet to come to help.

“They were not wise enough to surround the
building…so the guy knowing that they were
standing in front of the house, tactically fled
through the back.”

In his haste, the assailant jumped outside the
back wall and fled. The Police were called in
after 1:30am. JB Danquah's body was found in a
pool of blood.

Atta Akyea says the murder has signs of a contract
killing.

The assailant “timed him well [and] came for
him,” and was given instructions to “go do
this singular thing and finish this man off.”
