'Gay' Man Killed

The Family Head of Samuel Boampong, the 27-year-old tailor who was allegedly killed by his gay partner has denied the police reports that their son was gay.

The Family Head, Awere Mensah Abrampah, who spoke to Daily Guide expressed worry over the police report and said it has dented the family image.

“Our son was a good boy who led a good life so we don’t know why people will associate him with such behavior”, he added.

Mr. Abrampah said he believed some wicked person killed their son for reason best known to the person and not their son's gay partner as it is being alleged.

Daily Guide's information revealed that Samuel Boampong, a tailor at the Sunyani Central Market, was found dead in his room by two guys who collapsed at seeing the gory nature of his body on Saturday morning.

He was alleged to have been murdered by his alleged gay partner from Kumasi, which his family has denied.

According to the report, the alleged gay relationship turned sour when Boampong decided to stay away from his partner because his pastor has advised him against such alleged gay acts.

Confirming the reports, the Brong Ahafo Regional Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Christopher Tawiah said their initial investigations in Samuel’s room at his Sunyani Tonsuom Estate resident revealed that he had sexual relations with his alleged murderer who visited him from Kumasi.

He said they found condom containing sperm in his room so they have taken it to the laboratory for further investigations.

ASP Tawiah said the two alleged lovers locked themselves in Samuel’s room on Friday night; it was later in the night that some residents heard a shout but when they came out they didn’t see anything so they went back to sleep.

He said it was on Saturday morning that Samuel was found dead in his room lying face down and stabbed all over with a kitchen knife with deep cuts on his chest.

Samuel’s body has since been deposited at the North Ridge Hospital Morgue in Sunyani awaiting autopsy.
