Family of deceased KNUST graduate accuses police and hotel of investigation mishandling

The family of Lois Koranteng, a KNUST graduate who was found dead under mysterious circumstances at a hotel in Takoradi, has leveled serious accusations against the Ghana Police Service and the hotel management for allegedly mishandling the investigation and providing misleading information to the public.

The family claims the police lied about conducting the autopsy on June 8th, the same day Lois was found dead, asserting that the autopsy was actually performed on June 11th. They are demanding an explanation for this discrepancy.

Contrary to police reports of no blood stains found on Lois, the family alleges they possess photographic evidence of a “reddish liquid” from her nose, challenging the police’s preliminary findings. The family also criticized the police for their lack of communication and transparency, revealing that there have been no updates or assurances about the ongoing investigation aside from a planned visit, which the family perceives as an attempt to cover up investigative shortcomings.

Additionally, the police have reportedly been unable to unlock Lois’s phone, which the family believes is crucial to understanding the events leading to her death.

The hotel management is also under scrutiny. The family disputes the hotel’s claim that their security cameras were not working at the time of Lois’s death and has evidence suggesting otherwise. They questioned why the hotel dismissed its management staff following Lois’s death and replaced the security cameras three days later.

Furthermore, the family states that contrary to the hotel’s claim that the pool guard had traveled on June 7th, the security guard, who doubles as the lifeguard, was on duty that day.

The family alleges that the hotel is preventing a specific female staff member from speaking to third parties about the incident and has been pressuring them to remove their social media posts addressing the concerns and revealing the truth.

Moreover, the family of Lois Koranteng has raised suspicions about Lois’s employer, who allegedly hurried to obtain her laptop password from the family just hours after her death, raising questions about their motives. The family claims to have a voice recording of this request and insists on transparency from the company.

The family has presented some of their evidence and threatened to release more if the implicated parties do not provide satisfactory explanations.
