The Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) for Krachi East in the Oti Region, Francis Kofi Okesu, has been found dead in a hotel room in Kumasi.<\/p>\n
Police found his body in a supine position in bed naked with his left arm hanging beside the bed on Sunday.<\/p>\n
A careful examination of the body by health professionals found no marks of violence, but traces of spermatozoa on his thigh.<\/p>\n
According to the officials, the drops of spermatozoa suggest a possible sexual act before his death.<\/p>\n
Luv News checks revealed that the deceased had checked into the hotel late on Friday, September 2 with his driver, Sylvester Attah.<\/p>\n
The driver, however, left to lodge in a different hotel.<\/p>\n
Mr Kofi Okesu has not been seen since he checked into the hotel and efforts to reach him proved futile.<\/p>\n
Investigations established that Mr Attah could also not reach him on the scheduled day of return to Dambai on Sunday, September 4.<\/p>\n
An official complaint was lodged with the Police by the Manager of the said hotel in Kumasi.<\/p>\n
Subsequently, the Police broke into his room only to find the dead body of Mr Okesu.<\/p>\n
The Regional Crime Scene team of the police proceeded to the crime scene to begin investigations into what could have led to his death.<\/p>\n
Police sources say they have conducted a search of the room but have found nothing incriminating so far.<\/p>\n
The Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah, Municipal Chief Executive of Oforikrom, Abraham Antwi, and other security operatives have been to the scene.<\/p>\n
The body has been deposited at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital mortuary for preservation and autopsy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
