Kumasi murder: “I didn’t intend to kill her”, police inspector tells court

The police inspector who allegedly killed his girlfriend at Adum, a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti Region has said he did not intend to kill the deceased.

Ahmed Twumasi who made his first appearance on Tuesday (25 April) at the Asokore Mampong Court following his arrest over the weekend said, “I did not intend to kill her…What happened is between myself and God.”

Twumasi has since been provisionally charged with murder as investigations continue.

The prosecution after reading the facts of the case prayed the court to remand the suspect in police custody.

The court has adjourned the case to 30 May.
