THE 63-year-old British photographer who was arrested for sodomising a 19-year-old Ghanaian is to be deported after payment of fines imposed on him by an Accra circuit court.
The Deputy Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police Service, ACOP Ken Yeboah, told the Daily Graphic that in order that John Ross Macleod would not return to the country, the police had sought a deportation order from the court to deport him and this was eventually granted.
Macleod and Emmanuel Adda who pleaded guilty to unnatural canal knowledge were both fined ¢6 million each, or in default would serve six months imprisonment.
Macleod paid the fine of ¢12 million for both of them and an additional ¢3 million for possessing obscene pictures.
He said when the two made first appearance in court, they were charged with two counts of unnatural canal knowledge of each other and possession of obscene pictures.
He said they pleaded guilty to the first count of unnatural canal knowledge and were convicted on their own guilty plea to ¢6 million each or in default serve six months imprisonment.
Mr Yeboah said Macleod pleaded not guilty to possessing obscene pictures and was granted a ¢50-million bail with three sureties, but he later changed the second plea to guilty and was thus fined ¢3 million.
Macloed, who was arrested at the Kotoka International Airport while going through departure formalities, had in his possession CDs and nude pictures of himself and Adda, which he had concealed in a compartment of his suitcase.
The two established an online relationship and after exchanging mails, Macloed proposed love to the boy and on October 2, 2007, he arrived in the country for a visit during which period he sodomised Adda and took pictures of their acts.

POLICE RESCUE IRISH ACCOUNTANT (MIRROR PAGE 3)
From Mary Mensah
THE Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has rescued a 48-year-old Irish accountant who was kidnapped and detained on his arrival in the country by some 419 operatives.
The Irish, James Laferty, arrived at the Kotoka International Airport on October 25, 2007 at about 4:30 am and was picked up by the suspects, who took him to a spot at Pokuase where they collected his passport, 1,400 Euros and other documents at gunpoint.
After that, the suspects took the victim to a hotel at Kasoa, locked him up and demanded a ransom of 500,000 Euros from his family in Ireland before setting him free.
One of the suspects, Stanley Kanyagui, a 27-year-old student who was found guarding the door at the hotel, has been arrested but his two other accomplices are on the run.
They are Martin Abraham and Jalil Bawah, both unemployed.
According to the Deputy Director General of the CID, ACOP Ken Yeboah, in February, 2007 the Irish established an online relationship with Stanley, who introduced himself as a lady by name Eunice Dodoo.
He said Stanley later posted pictures of a lady he took from the Internet to the Irish, who expressed interest in marrying her and probably settling in Ghana.
The Deputy Director General said Stanley agreed and then invited the victim to the country but before his arrival, he sent the suspect 1,200 Euros to rent a room where they would live when he arrived.
Mr Yeboah said the victim also informed the suspect that he would be bringing 22,000 Euros to start a business.
He said on arrival at the airport, two of the suspects met him and they drove off in a black Rav4 Toyota jeep but about 200 yards from the airport, the two stopped the car and a third person joined them.
They then drove the suspect to a spot on the Accra-Pokuase road, stopped and one of the suspects pulled a locally manufactured pistol and pointed it at the victim and ordered him to surrender everything he had on him or be killed.
The suspects then seized the complainant’s passport and wallet which contained 1,400 Euros.
The suspects were very disappointed because they were expecting the 22,000 Euros the victim promised bringing for investment and not 1,400 Euros.
The three suspects then took the victim to a hotel at Kasoa, booked a room and kept him hostage after which they forced the victim to call his relations in Ireland to send E500,000 into Ecobank account no. 3901103964014, Abeka branch, bearing the name Eunice Dodoo which Stanley had earlier opened.
The suspects kept watch in turns at the hotel while waiting for the ransom money but at a point, a misunderstanding ensued between them. While two of them wanted the ransom reduced to the 22,000 Euros he had promised to bring, the other stuck to the 500,000.
He said when the one in favour of the 500,000 was away in town, the two checked out of the hotel with the victim and relocated him in a new hotel at North Kaneshie.
When the victim contacted his family, they became alarmed and made a report to the INTERPOL in Dublin, Ireland, who in turn contacted their Ghanaian counterparts for assistance.
After intensive investigations, the complainant was traced to the hotel at North Kaneshie where he was rescued by the police.

TWO KIDNAPPED GHANAIANS RESCUED
Story: Mary Mensah
TWO Ghanaian businessmen who were kidnapped by armed men in Nigeria have been rescued through a collaborative effort between the security forces of Ghana and Nigeria.
The two, Francis Awuzah of Rapid Oil Company Limited in Cape Coast and his cousin, Felix Doku, were in Nigeria to inspect eight companies which had applied to supply palm oil to Rapid Oil’s mother company in Germany. On arrival in Lagos, however, they were allegedly kidnapped and taken to Benin City, from where their captors demanded a $100,000 ransom from their employers in Ghana before their release.
But after two weeks in captivity, they were rescued by the coalition of Ghana-Nigeria forces.
Police sources said when the Ghanaians were captured, they called their employers, who in turn informed Interpol in Accra. The organisation informed its counterpart in Lagos and last Sunday the kidnapped men were traced to Edo State in Nigeria where they were rescued.
The suspects, however, managed to escape but one of them, who gave his name only as Friday, was arrested and he is currently assisting the police in their investigations.
The two have since returned to Ghana and been re-united with their families.
According to the Deputy Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, ACOP Ken Yeboah, directors of the mother company in Germany established a business contract with eight Nigerian companies which were to supply the company with palm oil.
The German company requested the Ghana office to send a representative to Nigeria for feasibility studies before the contract with the Nigerians would be sealed.
He said on October 23, 2007, Mr Awuzah was asked to proceed to Nigeria and he also asked his cousin Doku to accompany him. On arrival in Lagos, they called the contact person who directed them to pick a vehicle to Benin City where they would be met by a gentleman called Sam.
The two managed to get to their destination and taken to a house where they were informed that they had been kidnapped so they should call Ghana for a ransom of $100,000 to be paid or be killed.

POLICE OFFER ¢20 MILLION FOR INFO (BACK PAGE)
Story: Mary Mensah
A GH¢2,000 (¢20 million) reward has been placed on the heads of the killers of the two lovers at Awoshie last Wednesday.
According to the Accra Regional Police Commander, DCOP Opare Addo, the move was the first sign that the police would strive to unravel the circumstances surrounding the murder.
He said in cases like the Awoshie killing, the police needed the assistance of the public to track the assailants and appealed to members of the public, especially residents of Awoshie and its environs, to volunteer information that would assist the police in their investigations.
DCOP Opare Addo said since the incident occurred last Wednesday, there had been many leads which the police were following and assured the public that the perpetrators would be arrested soon and brought to book.
A visit to the area revealed that residents were still shocked at the murders and the families of the two victims were pointing accusing fingers at each other.
Groups of people were spotted at various locations discussing the murders.
Rumours had it that when the two lovers left the Internet cafe on that fateful day, they had a confrontation with some people riding a Jeep with a foreign number plate.
According to the rumours, after the two victims had left the scene, the people in the Jeep went looking for them and that it was likely that they might have followed the two to the spot where they were found dead.
Others were of the view that it was likely that Irene, the lady victim, was dating another man who probably hired the assassins to murder her, together with her lover, Awal, for cheating on him.
Meanwhile, Awal’s wife has denied ever threatening Irene before the murders.
The woman, Charlotte Morton, told the police that although the two of them exchanged words, she never threatened her in any way and that the deceased was always the aggressor.
The Thursday November 8, 2007 issue of the Daily Graphic carried the story about the gruesome murder of a 31-year-old scrap dealer and his 28-year-old girlfriend at Awoshie.

Story: Mary Mensah
Five men suspected to be involved in the murder of Mr Rokko Frimpong, the former Deputy Managing Director (Operations) of Ghana Commercial Bank have been arrested.
Two others allegedly connected with the murder are, however, on the run and are beibg sought by the police.
According to the Homicide Unit of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, investigations conducted appeared to point to robbery as the motive for the murder.
Those on the run are Tahiru Adams, alias Okantey, and Jonathan Abi, alias Joe, and the police have mounted an intensive search for them.
According to the acting Director of the Police Public Affairs Directorate, DSP Kwesi Ofori, about 8:30 p.m. on June 28, 2006, men on board a seized Opel Vectra, with registration number GR 4735 P, armed with two pump actions guns, one locally-made pistol and other dangerous implements, stormed the residence of the deceased and fired at him.
He said prior to the shooting of the deceased, the armed men had snatched two cell phones connected to Tigo and OneTouch lines from the deceased’s brother, James Darbo.
He said during investigations, the call data of the Tigo line was collected from Tigo and its analysis revealed that at exactly 6:53 a.m. the following morning, one of the perpetrators used the line to call another Tigo line and made 18 subsequent calls between June 29 and July 5, 2007.
DSP Ofori said through diligent investigations, one of the frequent receivers of the calls from James’s number was detected to be a lady at Ashaiman and she was picked up for interrogation.
The acting director said the lady mentioned the name of his boyfriend, McCarthy, as the one she had received the calls from and on July 17, 2007 he was traced to the Sakumono Village School where he was apprehended.
He said an immediate search in his room revealed one locally-made pistol, one reflective jacket stained with blood, a military attire and GH¢800 in his pocket.
The acting director said after killing Rokko, the suspects drove to the Sakumono Junction, where they abandoned the Opel and snatched a Toyota Carina saloon car and a laptop from its owner and sped off.
He said from there, and on that same night, they drove to Tema Community Four where they attacked an Internet cafe operator, from whom they stole one laptop and mobile phones, after which they abandoned the Toyota at Ashiaman.
A few days after killing Rokko, five members of the gang snatched a taxi from its owner and went to the residence of the late Quartey, where they shot him dead in front of the gate and later abandoned the taxi.
He said following interrogations, the suspects admitted their involvement in Quartey’s murder. They claimed they had been hired by some men to kill for a fee. Two of them said they received ¢8 million and ¢4 million, respectively, and that the bulk of the money went to their three accomplices.
The three had refused to disclose the actual amount paid to them or the names and whereabouts of the persons who contracted them.
DSP Ofori indicated that all the five suspects arrested at their various hideouts had admitted their involvement in the crime in their written statements and had mentioned suspect Jonathan Abi (at large) as the one who pulled the trigger on the deceased.
He said they had, however, denied that they were contracted to eliminate Mr Frimpong and insisted that they had been at his house to rob for money but the deceased had resisted.

HORROR AT AWOSHIE (FRONT PAGE LEAD)
Story: Mary Mensah
A gruesome murder yesterday of a 31-year old scrap dealer and his 28-year old girlfriend has turned Onyenase in Awoshie, one of the fastest growing suburbs in Accra, into a scene of tragedy and mourning.
Although situated within a notorious neighbourhood and near the densely populated areas of Ablekuma and Anyaa, Onyenase had not been noted for crime and robbery until residents woke up yesterday to a real horror of horrors.
A group of market women were the first to appear at the scene at about 4.00am to find the bodies of the couple, lying 50 metres apart and both riddled by bullets.
The two were said to have been gunned down by assassins who fled the scene immediately after the crime.
The cause of the shooting was not immediately known but police detectives say they suspect rivalry motivated murder or an armed robbery attack.
Residents who gathered at the scene following the alarm raised by the market women said there were no eyewitness to the crime because it happened in front of a school and occupants of a house closeby said although they heard the shots at about 2am none of them came out due to fear.
When they came out at daybreak, they found the dead bodies about 20 metres from a Black Gulf Saloon Car belonging to the man, Awal Usmanu and which neighbours had found the two in the previous night. At the scene they were both lying face down with gunshot wounds at their backs slightly above the hips.
According to the neighbours, the woman, Irene Emefa Agbei, 28, was a trader at the Rawlings Park in Accra. Her wounds indicated that she was shot twice, one shot at the back of her shoulder which came out through one of her breasts and the other slightly above her hips.
They were both shot at the same spot and crime scene investigators indicated that whoever fired the shots must have been a good marksman.
The two were last seen in Irene’s house by a co-tenant, Bismark Agbley at about 12 midnight and locked in an argument during which Irene was heard telling Awal “leave me alone, its late I want to go to bed because I will go to work tomorrow”.
The neighbour said during that time Awal did not yield but dragged her from the house into his car which was parked infront of their gate and they drove off “until word came this morning that they had both been murdered.”
Awal had a wife with two kids aged 12years and four years and his wife is said to be pregnant with their third child while Irene was not married but had a five-year old daughter with one Kennedy living abroad.
According to the neighbours, the two had been in a relationship for the past one and a half years, a situation they said Awal’s wife, Charlotte Morton, had not taken kindly and which had generated several confrontations between the two rivals.
They said the most recent one was last Friday November 2, 2007 when Charlotte stormed Irene’s house and met her with Awal but after a hot exchange of words Awal managed to push Charlotte into his car and drove away promising Irene that he would be back later.
Charlotte was alleged to have threatened Irene during the confrontation after which she packed her things from their matrimonial home and went to live with her parents at Arena.
According to King Hassan Mohammed, a friend of Awal’s who operates an internet cafe on the main Awoshie road, the two came to the place and left but while he was going home after closing his cafe at about 11:30 pm he spotted Awal’s car parked at the spot where it was found this morning.
He said they were relaxed in the car so he only waved at them and went home to sleep.
Irene’s mother, Madam Cecilia Agbenyo collapsed on hearing the news of her daughter’s brutal murder and was rushed to the Korle-Bu teaching hospital where she was admitted.
According to the Accra Regional Crime Officer, Chief Superintendent Boi-Bi-Boi, Awal withdrew ¢19 million from an Accra branch of Ecobank the previous day but the whereabouts of that money was not known. One of the front tyres of the car had also been deflated.
The bodies had been deposited at the Police hospital mortuary awaiting autopsy.
A gruesome murder yesterday of a 31-year old scrap dealer and his 28-year old girlfriend has turned Onyenase in Awoshie, one of the fastest growing suburbs in Accra, into a scene of tragedy and mourning.
Although situated within a notorious neighbourhood and near the densely populated areas of Ablekuma and Anyaa, Onyenase had not been noted for crime and robbery until residents woke up yesterday to a real horror of horrors.
A group of market women were the first to appear at the scene at about 4.00am to find the bodies of the couple, lying 50 metres apart and both riddled by bullets.
The two were said to have been gunned down by assassins who fled the scene immediately after the crime.
The cause of the shooting was not immediately known but police detectives say they suspect rivalry motivated murder or an armed robbery attack.
Residents who gathered at the scene following the alarm raised by the market women said there were no eyewitness to the crime because it happened in front of a school and occupants of a house closeby said although they heard the shots at about 2am none of them came out due to fear.
When they came out at daybreak, they found the dead bodies about 20 metres from a Black Gulf Saloon Car belonging to the man, Awal Usmanu and which neighbours had found the two in the previous night. At the scene they were both lying face down with gunshot wounds at their backs slightly above the hips.
According to the neighbours, the woman, Irene Emefa Agbei, 28, was a trader at the Rawlings Park in Accra. Her wounds indicated that she was shot twice, one shot at the back of her shoulder which came out through one of her breasts and the other slightly above her hips.
They were both shot at the same spot and crime scene investigators indicated that whoever fired the shots must have been a good marksman.
The two were last seen in Irene’s house by a co-tenant, Bismark Agbley at about 12 midnight and locked in an argument during which Irene was heard telling Awal “leave me alone, its late I want to go to bed because I will go to work tomorrow”.
The neighbour said during that time Awal did not yield but dragged her from the house into his car which was parked infront of their gate and they drove off “until word came this morning that they had both been murdered.”

Girl, 8, Beaten To Death
Story: Mary Mensah
A 50-YEAR-OLD kenkey seller, who could not bear the agony of losing her G¢10 (¢100,000), has visited her anguish on her eight-year-old ward, leading to her death.
The suspect, Hagar Sakah, alias Adorkor, a resident of Soko, a suburb of Lartebiokorshie in Accra, allegedly used a piece of firewood to hit the head of Sarah Darkey, the deceased, and refused to send her to the hospital for medical attention, when she started bleeding from her wounds.
The girl was said to have been sent by Hagar on October 20, 2007 to buy cooking oil to fry fish for the next day’s business.
Sarah was said to have returned after sometime without the oil and told Hagar that she had lost the money on the way.
According to the Accra Regional Crime Officer, Chief Superintendent Boi-Bi-Boi, this infuriated Hagar so much that she picked a piece of firewood and started beating Sarah.
Sarah’s screams attracted some people to the scene, who pleaded with Hagar, but she persisted in beating Sarah till she fell and started bleeding.
Mr Boi-Bi-Boi said Sarah was left unattended to for five hours after which she collapsed and neighbours called Hagar to send her to hospital.
He said she first took her to the Mamprobi Polyclinic where she was referred to the Korle-bu Teaching Hospital for further treatment but she was pronounced dead on arrival.
He said at the hospital, Hagar lied to the medical personnel that Sarah’s injuries were the result of a fall into a gutter.
The crime officer said the doctor then advised her to go to the Korle-Bu Police Station and report the incident before the body would be sent to the mortuary.
He said Hagar went to the police and told a different story that she returned from town and found the girl with bruises all over her body.
She told the police that she was only a guardian to the girl and that she had to go and inform Sarah’s parents about the incident so she was asked to go and return the next day but she bolted.
She was later arrested at Quarshie, a village near Kade in the Eastern Region, upon a tip-off.
The suspect was today arraigned before the City Engineers Court, presided over by Mr Alex Okraku, remanded to appear again on January 10, 2008.

Another British Sex Scandal
06/11/2007
Story: Mary Mensah
ONE week after a 57-year-old British national appeared in court for indecently assaulting a three-year-old girl, another British is in the news, this time, for sodomising a 19-year-old Ghanaian.
The suspect, John Ross Macleod, a 63-year-old photographer, was arrested at the Kotoka International Airport while going through departure formalities.
According to the Deputy Director General of the CID, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACOP) Ken Yeboah, Macleod established an online relationship with the boy, Emmanuel Adda, an SSS graduand.
After exchanging mails, the British proposed love to the boy and promised to visit him in Ghana.
The Deputy Director General said Macleod arrived in the country on October 2, 2007 and was met on arrival by Adda who took him to a hotel at Dome.
He said Adda, who lives at the Christian Village, near Achimota, took Macleod home and introduced him to his parents as a penpal from the UK who was visiting Ghana.
Mr Yeboah said because Adda was awaiting his results, he was able to accompany the suspect to the Kakum National Park, near Cape Coast, the Elmina Castle and Lake Bosomtwi among other places of interest and on all those trips, Adda was sodomised by Macleod.
He said Macleod filmed all their sexual acts and took nude still pictures of Adda.
Mr Yeboah said last Saturday, while Macleod was going through departure formalities at the airport, the Narcotic Control Board officials became suspicious about his movement and, thinking that he might be having some drugs on him, picked him up for questioning.
He said while they were going through his luggage, they found a number of CDs and nude pictures of him and Adda, which he had concealed in a compartment of his suitcase.
He said Adda was later arrested and the two were handed over to the police.
They were arraigned before the Accra Circuit Court yesterday charged with two counts of unnatural canal knowledge and possessing obscene pictures.
They pleaded guilty to the first count of unnatural canal knowledge and were convicted on their own guilty plea to ¢6 million each or in default six months’ imprisonment.
Macleod pleaded not guilty to possessing obscene pictures and was granted a ¢50-million bail with three sureties, whom he could not provide. The two are in custody.

Police Arrest fake Nigerian Nabbed
Story: Mary Mensah
THE police have arrested a Nigerian who posed as a medical doctor at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital and managed to lure an Indonesian doctor into the country, only to defraud her of over $10,000.
The suspect, William Atavwigho, alias Dr William, was arrested at the Dutch Hotel at Nungua where he had gone to collect more money from the victim.
One other accomplice, known only as James, alias Barrister Edwin, managed to escape and the police have mounted an intensive search for him.
According to the Deputy Director-General of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, Mr Ken Yeboah, on October 17, 2007, the police received information that some individuals had lured an Indonesian woman into the country to defraud her.
The informants told the police that the fraudsters had put the woman up at the Dutch Hotel at Nungua and so some policemen were immediately dispatched to the hotel to ascertain the truth or otherwise of the information.
He said on arrival at the hotel, the police met the victim, Maria Frets Da Silva, a medical doctor and politician from Indonesia, in the company of the suspect, William, a Nigerian who claimed to be a medical doctor working at Korle-Bu.
Mr Yeboah said the suspect was immediately arrested to assist the police in investigations, adding that during interrogation he told the police that he met the Indonesian on the net.
He said because the victim was a doctor, William also informed her that he was also a Ghanaian medical doctor working at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra and succeeded in establishing an online relationship with her.
He said as time went on the suspect told the victim that there was a patient at Korle-Bu who was very ill and had a short time to live. He added that the patient was a multi-millionaire with a number of businesses around the globe.
The deputy director-general said William told the victim that the said patient had asked him to look for a foreigner for her in order to bequeath her property to him/her because she wanted her money used to help the less privileged in society, since she did not trust her family or anybody.
He said the victim became interested and after a series of correspondence, she was asked to proceed to Ghana to finish the necessary documentation for the release of the money.
On the arrival of the victim at the Kotoka International Airport, the suspect and his accomplice met her and drove her to the Dutch Hotel and booked a room for her.
The two suspects then collected $10,000 for certification and ownership and her laptop which they claimed would be given to the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to facilitate the process.
Mr Yeboah said they also took away her three gold wrist watches to be given to the nurses who were taking care of the rich woman at the hospital.
Meanwhile, police investigations into the incident have revealed that Dr Da Silva had previously been duped, during which she lost $350,000 to some Nigerians in Jakarta, Indonesia.
She had come to Ghana, hoping that she would recover the money she lost to the Nigerians in Jakarta from the estate of the rich dying woman at the Korle-Bu.
Investigations continue.

TWO ROBBERS NABBED — P.3
Story: Mary Mensah
TWO suspected robbers who used a motorbike and went round banks snatching money from people have been arrested by the police.
The two suspects, Shaibu Fatao and Musah Usmanu were arrested on the ring road by the patrol team who had been trailing them for sometime now.
According to the Nima Divisional Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Angwubotuge Awuni, the police in Accra had received several complaints about the activities of the robbers.
He said their modus operandi was to wear identical clothes and matched it with the same helmet after which they jumped on a motorbike and kept surveillance at the banks.
He said the robbers usually planted an accomplice in the bank who monitored all customers withdrawing money and when they saw somebody who had cashed a huge amount of money they would inform the suspects by giving a vivid description of the victim.
They will then follow you and snatch the money when you least suspect it.
Mr Awuni said on September 29, 2007 somebody came to the police station and reported that he went to cash ¢29 million from a bank in Accra and while he was waiting by the road side for a taxi two men on a motorbike snatched the money from him in broad daylight and sped off.
He said later they also had several reports from the Kotobabi and other police stations about the activities of the suspects.
He said investigations also revealed that the suspects owned taxis which they use to pick passengers, robbed them and threw them out of the taxi.
The commander said surveillance was put on them and the patrol team spotted them on the motorbike wearing the same attire and they gave them a hot chase.
Mr Awuni said the suspect ran into an accident and they were arrested. He said one had a broken leg because of the accident but the other sustained minor injuries so they were taken to the Korle-Bu teaching hospital for treatment.
He said one had been discharged but the other with the broken leg was still on admission under a police guard.
He said the Kotobabi police had also impounded one of the taxi’s suspected to be owned by the suspects and when the documents were taken to DVLA for verification it turned out to be fake.
