Sunyani: Homosexual Killed By Partner (Photo)

The Family Head of Samuel Boampong, the 27-year-old tailor, who was allegedly killed by his gay partner, has denied the police report that their son was gay.

The family head, Awere Mensah Abrampah, who spoke to Daily Guide, expressed worry over the police report and said it had dented the family’s image.

“Our son was a good boy who led a good life so we don’t know why people will associate him with such behavior,” he added.

Mr. Abrampah said he believed a wicked person killed their son for reason best known to the person and not their son’s gay partner as it was being alleged.

Residents of New Town, a suburb of Sunyani, were shocked to hear the murder of Samuel by his alleged gay partner who bolted after the act.

Samuel was last seen on Friday night entering his room with another young man. He was later found dead in the room.

Daily Guide’s information revealed that Samuel Boampong, a tailor at the Sunyani Central Market, was found dead in his room by two guys, who collapsed after seeing the gory nature of his body, on Saturday morning.

He was alleged to have been murdered by his gay partner from Kumasi, which his family has denied. According to the report, the alleged gay relationship turned sour when Boampong decided to stay away from his partner because his pastor had advised him against such acts.

Confirming the reports, the Brong Ahafo Regional Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Christopher Tawiah, said their initial investigations in Samuel’s room at his Sunyani Tonsuom Estate residence revealed that he had sexual relations with his alleged murderer, who visited him from Kumasi.

He said they found condom containing sperms in his room so they took it to the laboratory for further investigations. ASP Tawiah said the two alleged lovers locked themselves in Samuel’s room on Friday night; it was later in the night that some residents heard a shout but when they came out they did not see anything so they went back to sleep.

He said, on Saturday morning Samuel was found dead in his room lying face down with kitchen knife wounds all over the body with deep cuts on his chest.

Samuel’s body has since been deposited at the Brong Ahafo Regional Hospital Morgue for autopsy.
