He said the witness who was preparing to go to work, heard the shout and quickly rushed to complainant’s room and met Kwesi who he knows very well, at the entrance scaling the wall.
Inspector Adu said the witness on seeing Kwesi, called his name several times but he managed to escape while Sam was in the room of the complaining he was beaten and abandoned.
