I killed Police Officers to avenge my mother’s death – Kasoa cops killer

Eric Kojo Duah, the chief suspect in the murder of Sergeant Eric Dzamesi and Lance Corporal Mohammed Awal at Gomoa Buduburam has told police investigators that his decision to shoot and kill the two MTTD officers was borne out of the desire to avenge the death of his mother.

Though he refused to explain to investigators how his mother died and how one of the two Police officers contributed to her demise, Kojo Duah admitted to killing the officers even though he did not fire sporadically at the slain officers as earlier reported.

Reports say Kojo Duah is the son of the late Madam Elizabeth Boateng, founder of ‘Strong Living Fire Church’ who died mysteriously some years ago.
