They allegedly killed her when the family refused to pay and buried her in the chief’s kitchen.

He said that he could not believe that the chief, who is the President of the Mankessim Traders Association and was respected so much, would have engaged in such a heinous crime.

“Nana Clark has helped a lot of people at Mankessim, so many people will even die for him. He is the last person to be suspected of this crime. I’m still in shock,” cried.

Appiah added that Nana Clark Onyaa gained fame in the area because he brought a lot of development projects to Akwa Krom and surrounding communities.

Meanwhile, the two suspects appeared before the Cape Coast Circuit Court 2 on Thursday, September 22, 2022, where they were remanded into police custody.
