Since the gruesome murder of Josephine Asante, the public affairs manager of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA), new developments keep coming to light.

In a report sighted by YEN.com.gh on Graphiconline.com, the owners of Emefs Estate have said the killers did not trail her to the house on that fateful day.

Asante was murdered in her bedroom after she had reportedly returned home from a party on January 13, 2019.

Following this, many views have been expressed that her assailants must have followed her to the house that evening to commit that criminal act.

But in an official release which was issued on Tuesday, January 15, 2019, the management of EMEFS Construction Limited, said the tight security condition at the premises would not allow such a thing to happen.

According to them, no person could enter or exit the estate without being noticed or accosted.

The statement gives an indication that the killer might be hiding somewhere in the house before the deceased even got home.

“All Emefs Estates, namely: Lagoon View, Hill View, Palace and Gardens are walled and well protected by very watchful and resilient security personnel and there was no way an assassin or group of assassins could have followed the victim into the estate without being noticed and accosted,” part of the release stated.
