The Inspector-General of Police, Dr. George Akuffo Dampare, has assured the family of a couple who died under bizarre circumstances at Maakro near Abuakwa in Kumasi of the best of investigations.
The IGP who spoke to the mother of the late Ernestina Jackson on phone to commiserate with the family, assured the family that the Police will “get to the bottom of the matter”.
The assurance comes as Police at Abuakwa look into circumstances that led Samuel Jackson to allegedly keep his wife’s corpse in their flat for several months.
The Abuakwa Police found the body of Mrs. Ernestina Jackson, born Ernestina Abenaa Gyaamah Boakye, wrapped in blanket with ice packs on it.
Police suspect the late Mrs. Jackson may have died some months ago before her husband.
The body of Samuel Jackson was also discovered by police in the family’s bathroom, sitting on the toilet, while their two teenage children were also rescued in an unconscious state.
The IGP’s assurance comes as the Ashanti Regional Police Commander, DCOP Afful Boakye Yiadom, was joined by some Divisional and District commanders to visit the couple’s two traumatized children who remain on admission at the Abuakwa Polyclinic on Wednesday.
Until Wednesday, Police sources said it had been difficult connecting with the families of the deceased.
