Family of motorcyclist killed on highway calls for no 'political agendas'
Family members of a 71-year-old man who died after his motorcycle reportedly struck a pothole on a regional Victorian highway say they are heartbroken over the "sudden and devastating loss".
Dr Sylvester Nyamekye, the lawyer representing the family of 20-year-old Central University law student Ivan Apprey Baidoo, has raised doubts about the claim that Baidoo's motorbike rider jumped a red light. According to the lawyer, the family wants the police to examine CCTV footage from the UPSA intersection to the Tetteh Quarshie roundabout to determine the exact sequence of events.
The lawyer stated that the account given by the rider does not support the claim that he jumped a red light. Investigations into the incident are ongoing, and the officer involved, Corporal Robert Katey Koranteng, has been arraigned on murder charges.
