Mortuary attendant reveals why he took video of Ebony's corpse

The mortuary attendant who was accused of touching and recording the corpse of late singer Ebony Reigns and her friend Franky has spoken out and according to him, he was authorised by the Police to make the video recordings.

The Mortuary attendant said “I was ordered by the Police to record the remains of Ebony and Franky for evidence.”

Newsmen had earlier reported that father of the late singer had threatened fire and brimstone after a video emerged showing the mortuary attendant touching his daughter’s private part.

It could be recalled that Newsmen had earlier reported that Ebony, born Priscilla Opoku Kwarteng, died in a tragic accident on the Sunyani-Kumasi road on 8th February 2018 after the jeep they were travelling in collided with a VIP passenger Bus.

Speaking to Nhyira FM, Ghana, he spoke, “I was asked by the pathologists working on the bodies to check if the bodies were ready to undergo an autopsy.

He added that he took videos of them so it could be used as evidence.

The Police have, however, declared the mortuary attendant wanted for criminal act.
Chief Superintendent Yankson told the Ghanaian media that he has “been instructed to commence investigations into the matter and bring those perpetrators to book.”

“The law particularly says that even if you have in your possession, distributing it, those circulating it, it is also an offence and they could be brought to book,” he added.
