About two days ago a cleaner at the late professors house is said to have confessed his involvement in the murder of Professor Emmanuel Yaw Benneh. According to the police CID, it was based on this that the police called a news conference to update the media with details of his confession.
But just as the meeting was about to start, the Director General of Police CID, COP Isaac Ken Yeboah, announced, James had made another confession this morning which was at variance with his earlier confession.
He said James admitted to being the mastermind behind the act and named another person adding that the police had dispatched a team to retrieve the items used for the murder.
A question was asked about revelations that Professor Benneh was writing a book which had earned him some threats, a situation which may have led to the suspects going away with the CPU of his computer. Although the CID admitted to having knowledge about this, it said it can’t be substantiated now, per investigations.
On the new person mentioned by the suspect, COP Ken Yeboah said, investigations are still on-going for details.
