The investigation into the tragic death of Cheikh Touré, which took place in Ghana, takes an even more intriguing turn with the appearance of a central character that the investigators identify under the name of “Issah”. According to the information reported by the daily newspaper Libération, this individual, who falsely presented himself as the brother of the victim, played a determining role in the circumstances surrounding the death. According to the newspaper, “Issah” would have taken Cheikh Touré to the hospital, where he would have arrived without life. He would then have deposited the body at the morgue before disappearing into the wild, leaving behind him numerous zones of shadow. The first elements collected by the Ghanaian police state “several abdominal injuries” observed on the body of the deceased. A special team of investigators and forensic experts has been deployed in the Ashanti region to try to elucidate the exact circumstances of the tragedy. The local authorities are increasingly checking to establish the real identity of “Issah” and to determine whether he is a relative, an intermediary or an individual belonging to a wider network. The investigators do not have any clues to understand how and why Cheikh Touré, originally from Senegal, was found dead in these conditions.
