On the 25th of December 2021, Mr Joseph Entsie met his untimely death while in a Sekondi prison cell.
The 53-year-old taxi driver at the Fijai taxi rank in Sekondi had been arrested on 25th December 2021 for allegedly drunk driving and hitting some policemen at the Effia Nkwanta Nurses Quarters police checkpoint with his car.
He was then sent to the Sekondi police station and placed in a cell.
The Western Region Police Command in its report had stated that Joseph Entsie was later found dead in his cell with his jeans trousers tied to his neck, suggesting suicide.
The family of the deceased sent the case to Sekondi district court and after several sittings on the case, the court sent its findings to the Commercial Court but the commercial court told the family that, due to the murder aspect of the case they should take the case to the high court .
It’s based on this advice that the family of the deceased forwarded the case to high court 3 today.
The case has however been adjourned to Monday 14th November 2022.
