Inspector Ahmed Twumasi, a police officer accused of murdering his alleged girlfriend, Victoria Dapaah, also known as Maa Adwoa, in Kumasi, on April 20, 2023, has denied, during a cross-examination on Monday, March 10, 2025, that he was in an amorous relationship with the deceased.
The testimony came in the ongoing trial at the Kumasi High Court, where Twumasi is charged with shooting Victoria multiple times with his service pistol at Adum, leading to her death from hemorrhagic shock.
According to a report by ghpage.com, sighted by GhanaWeb, while under questioning by the prosecution, Twumasi insisted that his connection with the deceased was platonic. "She was my friend, nothing else," he said when asked to describe their relationship.
In a transcript of the court proceedings shared by GhPage, the prosecutor pressed further, stating, "I am putting it to you that you were in an amorous relationship with Victoria Dapaah also known as Maa Adwoa," to which Twumasi responded, "It is not true." He also rejected claims that this alleged affair caused marital issues with his wife, Yaa Afriyie, saying, "It is not true," when told his wife left home on April 19, 2023, as a result.
