SAD! She was killed and dumped in a swimming Pool,....(must read)

The walls of the house are about ten metres high and fortified with electric fence. At every material moment, there are two security guards in the house: a private security man from Westec Security and an armed police officer. With a CCTV camera in the house, the Essien’s house can be described as very secure for its occupants.
Ironically it was in this house that 23-year old past student of Accra Girls’Senior High School, Veracity Elorm Oteng, was allegedly murdered and dumped in a swimming pool. She was a house help in that house.

The owner of the house and employer of Elorm, Mr. Ato Essien, is a renowned businessman who lives in Dansoman. Mr. Essien and his family had traveled to the USA on a holiday at the time of the incident. Both the police and Elorm’s family have confirmed that the businessman had traveled.

Elorm was left in the house with two private security men (who ran night and day shifts), two armed police officers (who also ran day and night shifts) and a cleaner. Police investigators say within the period of the murder, there was no intruder in that house.

So who killed Elorm? And Why?

Elorm’s body floating in the swimming pool on August 21, 2015 

Justice Tsekpo, who describes himself as an uncle of Elorm, says the last time he spoke to his niece was in the early hours of Thursday August 20, this year. His calls, since then, went unanswered. On Friday, August 21, someone answered the call.
“At 10 O’clock [a.m.] I called again. No response, till 12:15 [pm] when a male voice picked the call,” Justice narrates how he got to know about the killing of his niece. “I asked of the owner of the phone so I could speak to her. The voice said she was sick, seriously ill so I should rush down to Dansoman and take her to the hospital.”

When Justice rushed to the house, he was told that Elorm had attempted to swim that morning and drowned in the pool. The day private security guard, Mr. Frank Obeng and the day police guard, Constable Clifford Atsutse, were the ones he met. They told him his niece had drowned that morning but the body had been conveyed to the morgue. He said he also met a man who identified himself as “Tailor.” Sources say his sewing shop is very close to the house. He was the one who helped Elorm to secure the job in Mr. Ato Essien’s house.

Elorm’s sandals and dress by the pool

Frank Obeng and Constable Atsutse told investigators that they had seen Elorm that morning. They claimed she was very healthy and they expected her to leave the house at about 9am for the cosmetic shop she often went to help when she finished her chores in the house. When she failed to leave the house, the security guards said they went to search for her at about 10 am only to find her in the swimming pool.

“This is Murder, not drowning.”
Elorm’s body was found floating in the swimming pool when the police arrived that morning. She was wearing a green pantie and brassieres. Her slippers and dress were placed by the pool, suggesting that she went to the pool, undressed and voluntarily went to swim.
“With my experience in this job, I can say that the girl did not drown,” a police officer said of the body.
“If someone drowns, it takes a long time for the body to float. If they saw her that morning, it is not possible for her to drown and within two hours the body would float.”
He added that the people who drown often have bloated stomachs, and if their stomachs are pressed, water would come out of them. In Elorm’s case, the police source said there was no water in her stomach.
