US police declares Chris Attoh as suspect in wife’s assassination

Popular Ghanaian actor, Chris Attoh, has been named as a suspect in his wife’s murder a few days after a sketch of the suspect who shot Bettie Jennifer was released.

George Matthews, a spokesman for the US police agency in Washington D.C. on Wednesday confirmed that Chris Attoh is now a suspect in his wife’s murder, GhanaWeb reports.

“Investigators are casting a wide net to try to find the suspect. The man is described as a black male, thin build, wearing a black, sleeveless top. He got into a blue vehicle and took off after killing Jenifer.

“Nowadays, you always want to look at social media.

“We are examining the actor’s tweet which came up a few minutes before the murder of his wife.

“That’s all part of the investigation. As far as I know, [Attoh is] fully cooperating.

“This happened in broad daylight, in front of multiple witnesses, right in front of an office complex. Around 5 p.m. Friday, Jenifer walked out of the office building and headed to her car. She saw a man with a gun and started running.

“She was chased by the suspect who fired multiple shots at the victim striking her twice, once fatally in the head,” George Matthews said.
