Physician assistant murdered in his room on his birthday

 He would have taken precautions if it ever occurred to him he had enemies who wanted him dead. Said Loretha, sister of the deceased as she sat helplessly crying over the death of her brother.  Lawrence Ohene-Darko, the deceased was the second son of Mr and Mrs Ohene. We said goodnight to each other last night after our family dinner, we never assumed it was our final goodbye to each other, the elder brother of Lawrence, William Ohene-Darko said.

It was a family diner as always as they celebrate the birthday of Lawrence Ohene-Darko, the deceased on Saturday, September 18, 2021. The family had celebrated Lawrence’s 34th birthday in a small family dinner they usually do to celebrate each other, and said goodnight as each of the three children departed to their apartments within the Sunyani township. As the dinner was held at their parents’ residence.

Lawrence phone his parents upon reaching home and he was the last to speak to his mother, Mrs Sarah Ohene-Darko before Lawrence made his way to bed. Nobody knew what happened to him at home after he spoke to his mother,  until the following morning when the mother was calling to check up on him.

The family had decided to attend Ebenezer Presbyterian Church, Sunyani for Sunday Thanksgiving, but Lawrence wasn’t answering his calls at eight o’clock the morning of Sunday, September 19, 2021.  This got his parents worried and his elder brother, William, was asked to check up on him since he was closer to Lawrence but was welcomed with Lawrence’s lifeless body.

According to sources, it seemed to be a robbery attack but nothing was taken from his room though, the doors were broken from the outside before the murderers got inside. Everything looked scattered but nothing was stolen.

Cynthia Oppong, Lawrence neighbour, alleged to have heard something from her room during dawn. “They said it was payback, and they meant what they said, but I thought he was speaking to someone on the phone since the sound came out of his room. You cannot hear someone when they are in their rooms, but since the doors were open, I was able to hear them. I thought Lawrence was making a phone call outside his room, I had no idea it was the murderers,” Cynthia Oppong said in her report to the Sunyani Police.

According to reports, a possible cause that might be the link to Lawrence’s death is; a twelve-year-old accident victim that died in the care of Lawrence. The boy whose name has been withheld is alleged to have died before they got him to the hospital, but the father of the boy blamed Lawrence for the boy’s death that, Lawrence was on phone during the cause of treating the boy and that made the boy lose his life.

I will pay you back for taking my son’s life, the father of the boy said on July 30, 2021. According to Owusu Memorial Hospital nurses at the emergency ward on that day, the boy was already dead but Lawrence was trying to revive him with everything he knew, and that made him phoned different specialists to seek their help in bringing back the boy to life, but he was already dead. The father blamed Lawrence for concentrating on his phone while his son was dying. He refused to listen to the advice of the nurses who confirmed that, it was Lawrence that was rather trying to bring his son to life.

The Police are on a manhunt for the father of the 12-year-old boy, Bright Anckrah, 46, to aid with Police investigations. It is suspected he is the only one who might have a hand in Lawrence’s death looking at how he accused his son’s death on Lawrence on July 30, 2021.
