The suspected killer danced and partied in a seaside resort in Ghana in the weeks leading up to his arrest, according to locals who knew him.
Residents in the resort of Busua have now told how he got to know the locals, making friends and partying with them before his arrest.
Local Idris Assoumana spoke to Simpson-Kent on the beach one day, and said that he welcomed the new year in at a plush rooftop party.
He claims that the suspect offered him all of his possessions and $500 not to report him, yet did nothing when he refused the offer and explained he would be talking to the police.
London-born cafe owner Karole Ainoo said that she thought he seemed ‘almost saintly’ when she first met him, as he claimed he wanted to produce cannabis for a sick relative.
She said he became a regular in the cafe and remembers him ‘dancing like mad’ at the New Year’s Eve party at the Rainbow Hotel in the resort as he was wanted in connection with murder.
