The police have discounted claims that sought to link the death of a Ward Chairman of the ruling National Democratic Congress at Nhyiaeso, Kumasi, Alpha Fiator, to robbery attack.
Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mohammed Yussif Tanko, the Ashanti Regional Public Relations Officer, in a signed press statement said their investigations had established that he died from the injury sustained after he fell violently into a deep uncovered gutter.
It again denied reports that the deceased Nissan Frontier pick-up, was missing – stolen by imaginary attackers.
The vehicle had already been recovered from where the late Fiator had gone to park it – Kwadaso Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church.
It said the deceased, who from all indications was heavily drunk, had driven to the mission house at about 2100 hours on March 6, with a lady and insisted that was his house.
He reportedly started behaving abnormally, resulting in a plea by the lady to give the ignition key to her which succeeded in collecting from him.
The statement indicated that from the evidence gathered, they had ruled out robbery.
Mr. Fiator had been sent to SDA Hospital in Kwadaso in critical condition.
Two men, who allegedly saw him lying in the deep gutter at Denchemuoso assisted the lady in his company at the time, to carry him to the hospital.
Meanwhile, the police are looking for the yet to be identified lady to assist in investigations.
