On January 12, 2019, the former Director of Marketing and Public Relations participated in an end-of-year party organized by the GPHA at Senior Club Staff House, Community 6, in Tema.
At the end of the evening, around 11:30 pm, Josephine's official driver drove her into her personal Mercedes Benz sedan.
The driver then went down to the Michel Camp bus stop so that she could continue her return journey.
According to the prosecution, the man met Josephine on her arrival and took a polythene bag she had in the kitchen and let her sleep in her room in the boys' quarters.
The accused was unable to confirm the time of arrival of the deceased nor to know if there was anyone in the Mercedes-Benz's salon-car of the deceased, said the prosecutor.
The prosecution stated that the accused stated that at around 3.30am he woke up because of "unusual" screams.
He said that when he came out he saw the back of a man in a black shirt and jeans running in the living room and going to the front door of the house.
The 12-year-old son of the deceased was reported to have woken up and, with the accused, carried out a search of the house, but nothing was found. They went back to sleep.
On January 13, 2018, around 8:30 am, an attempt to open the door of the deceased's room was unsuccessful.
The son of the deceased called the driver of his late mother to inform him of what was going on in the house and he rushed to the deceased's home.
Upon entering the house, the driver found a bunch of keys that would have opened the main door of the house at the entrance.
The key was then used to open the room of the deceased found supine in a pool of blood on the floor.
Investigators at the crime scene later found an exchange of sperm, foot and fingerprints that were lifted for badysis and examination.
The prosecutor said the police investigators had seen the man from the house burying a polythene bag containing a quantity of 430 GH ¢ near the boys' housing in the house.
The police also found the deceased's wristwatch in the polythene bag.
