According to him, police claimed the autopsy was conducted on June 8, the day of the student's death, when it was only completed on June 11.
“Ghana Police Service, why did you choose to lie to Ghanaians and the whole world that you did the autopsy on June 8, the same day Lois was found dead in the pool, when it was done on June 11? Can you come out and explain to Ghanaians?” he questioned.
He also disputed the police’s statement that no blood stains were found on Lois, vowing to provide photographic evidence to bolster his claim.
The post further criticised the police for a lack of communication and transparency following Lois’s death, claiming they had not received any updates on the investigation.
In addition to the police, the family member, @KwesiHubert, also questioned the actions of the Chrislord Palace Hotel in Takoradi, where Koranteng died.
He accused hotel management of lying about the functionality of their security cameras and even alleged the hotel replaced the cameras after the incident, as well as firing management staff.
He also alleged that the hotel’s pool guard was present on duty, despite claims that he had travelled on June 7.
The family had suspected foul play in Koranteng's death since learning of her tragic demise, per My Joy Online, noting that she was an excellent swimmer.
