The police has arrested two suspects in connection with the murder of Lance Corporal Sarah Adjei, a policewoman at Nkawkaw in a hotel room.

They are Timothy Dampare, a lotto agent who also happens to be the boyfriend of the late policewoman and the manager of the hotel in which the cop was found dead, one Richard Nimo.

A statement issued by the police said they are on a manhunt for a third suspect, an unknown male, who answered the mobile phone of the deceased policewoman and said the late officer owed him GHS28,000 and for that, he had to seize her car, a Hyundai Elantra.

Among other things found in the late policewoman’s purse was a handwritten note to Timothy Dampare, which read: “Dear Mr Timothy Dampare, I told you that I owed people money, and you decided to help me, and you have been with me in my house for one week now, and you have refused to help me, so if anything happens you cause it, Mr Timothy Dampare. Thank you [phone number]”.

Her body was found with swollen cheeks and blood in her nostrils on Saturday, 7 August 2021.

She served with the Stores unit of the Nkawkaw Divisional Headquarters.

An earlier police report said they received a call from Mr Richard Nimo, the manager of Misiho Hotel at Akwasiho near Nkawkaw that the late policewoman, believed to be in her mid-twenties, booked the hotel at about mid-day on Saturday but was found dead around 7 pm as he checked up on her.

Apart from the handwritten note found in her purse, a mirror, blue pen, padlock key and a cash sum of GHS11.60 were retrieved.

There were also eight envelopes, all addressed to Mr Dampare, including the one with the handwritten note.

The body has been deposited at the Holy Family Hospital at Nkawkaw for preservation and autopsy as the police investigates the matter.
