| Corpse buried with Eggs, pepper etc |
It was indeed a sight to behold
at the funeral of the late Osei Tawiah, who was allegedly brutalised to death at Krofrom, a suburb of Kumasi by some personnel of the Ghana Police Service.
Relatives of the deceased who
have suspected a foul play in his death despite an autopsy report by
pathologists at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) claiming he died of
natural causes, reigned all forms of curses on suspected killers of the young
man
.
The relatives after reigning
the curses armed the corpse with offensive weapons including a machete and a
bullet.
Eggs, sponge, a pair of shoes,
a cap, pepper and other items were also placed in the coffin of the late Osei Tawiah.
The items, according to the
relatives of the deceased are meant to aid Yaw Tawiah in the spirit world to avenge his death.
Nhyira FM's Kwasi Debrah
reported that the items were given to the corpse 'because he through another
person requested that he should be given these items so he can effectively avenge
his death.'
Relatives of the deceased were
earlier denied the body last week after they had contested the autopsy report
performed by KATH. Autopsy report.
The autopsy report made public
by D r. Osei Sampane, Head of the Pathology Department at KATH on June 1, 2016,
said Tawiah, 27, died of a heart attack. Reasons for refusal.
KATH explained that the family
had by then not complied with the procedure and presented the necessary
documentation for the body to be released.
KATH said since the matter was
in the hands of the police, it expected the family to have gone for a copy of
the death certificate before coming for the body.
Subsequently, the family
spokesman Kofi Boadi said, the police had submitted all the necessary documents
which necessitated the family to go for the death certificate for the body to
be released.
“We have submitted the death
certificate together with a burial permit for the body to be released and,
hopefully, we will lay him to rest today,” he said.
Following their rejection of
the autopsy report, the hospital gave the family an option of either go to a
private pathologist to conduct an independent autopsy or present a letter to
KATH indicating it had accepted the first autopsy report based on which the
body would be released.
The Public Relations Manager of KATH, Mr Kwame Frimpong, told the Daily Graphic that, since the matter has a
legal implication, KATH needed to have a written document to tender in court in
case it was being challenged.
But after the family submitted
the death certificate with the necessary documents last Tuesday, KATH appeared
to have softened its grounds to enable the young man to be laid to rest.
He was sent to Juansa where he
was buried.
