Ghanaian Business Man Poisoned To Death In South Africa

Newton Kwaku Boateng, a 48-year-old Ghanaian businessman living in South Africa, has been poisoned according to report by the DailyGuideNetwork.

Newton Kwaku Boateng's family members were left with many unanswered questions after the unexpected loss of their sibling.

Suspecting foul play, Boateng's family have expressed their outrage and despair at their relative's death, claiming he was poisoned by a close friend.

We are devastated, said Mr Godwin Attipoe, speaking on behalf of Newton's family in Ghana. We are angry. We are so heartbroken, a family member sobbed into the phone, fighting back tears.

He added: Kempton Park is a town in Gauteng Province, hinting that an inquest had been opened at the Kempton Park South African Police Service in Gauteng Province, South Africa, following the death of the much-loved brother.

According to Godwin Attipoe, the Kempton Park police station, which he alleges is working closely with the widow of the late Alinah Mahlangu, is suspected of corruption and covering up the murder of Newton Kwaku Boateng.

Godwin had to stop speaking as he broke down in tears, bringing the other family members present to their knees.

He said the body was found with foam in its mouth and that the South African police were now investigating the matter and awaiting the results of an autopsy.

The South African police now have the right and authority to request for an autopsy on Newton Kwaku Boateng, who died on 2 March 2023, he added.

He requested the Ghanaian Embassy in South Africa to assist the family in supervising the autopsy of the deceased, which both the South African Police and the deceased's wife have refused to do. He added that the deceased's wife was not authorised to speak for the family in this matter.

The deceased's widow, according to the family, allegedly conspired to have the case files destroyed by the CID. Once again, they claimed that the widow had warned the family not to ask for an autopsy report.

Autopsy reports are crucial in medical malpractice cases because they provide full details of the cause of death.

By law, autopsies are only required in certain situations, such as when foul play is suspected or there are concerns that the death was caused by an infectious disease that could affect public health.

However, the family have stated that they still have unresolved questions.
