The pathologist, Dr Lawrence Adusei told an Accra Central District Court on Friday, January 5, 2018, that he could not provide the autopsy report on former MP, JB Dankwah Adu because the report is missing.
According to him, he could not find the report after thieves ransacked his house.
According to Dr Adusei, all the autopsy reports in his possession have been stolen and he cannot say specifically whether the late MP’s own was part.
The Accra Central District Court presided over by Ms Arit Nsemoh summoned the pathologist who conducted the autopsy on Mr. JB Danquah- Adu to appear before it and explain the reason for withholding the report because the progress of the case depends on the report.

“A professional medical practitioner, you swore an oath that at all times you will perform your duty according to the ethics of the profession if you are not paid for 15 years, does it affect the submission of the autopsy report? ” he questioned.

The court will resit on Friday, January 18, 2018 to continue the case.
