The Volta regional
police Commander ACP Fred Agyepong-Asare stated emphatically yesterday
Wednesday 14th August, 2013 in a press conference held in Ho that
teachers in communities in the three Krachie districts should not feel being haunted.
This was in response
to a press conference held earlier by GNAT and GES saying teachers in Krachie
East, Krachie West and Krachie Ntsumuru districts in the Volta region intend
embarking on a strike action. According to the teachers they sense serial
killing since the late Marshal was the second teacher who died in a similar situation.
Earlier this month,
Marshal Manasseh, was reported missing, a situation which forced his colleague
teachers in the Krachi Nchumuru to wear red arm bands and declare an indefinite
strike.
But after several
days of searching, his lifeless, decomposed body was discovered floating on a
river close to the town.
George Achiba,
Regional Vice Chairman of the Ghana National Association of Teachers said they
suspect foul play because the deceased once fled the town after his life was
threatened – but he later returned to the area.

Akomea said the Police are holding the three men on suspicion of murder while
investigations go on.
Although the family
of the deceased had insisted the body should be given to them for a quick
burial, the Police said the body would be given to them after autopsy because
of the suspicion of foul play.
The pathologist came
out with findings that the man was drowned but the police still plead with the
general public to feed them with any information about the death contrary to
the report from the expert.
He told the teachers
to be rest assured since investigations are still ongoing for the two deaths.
