AFTER 50 DAYS of intensive investigations into the brutal and mysterious death of a Swedish national in Ghana, the Police Homicide Unit has finally concluded that the deceased, Lass Lassman, 62, committed suicide at his Roman Ridge residence, a suburb of Accra.

Senior State Attorney, Mrs Stella Baidoo, told an Accra High Court Tuesday that the police have come to a definite conclusion that the deceased committed suicide.

She submitted to the court that the State was therefore not opposing a motion for bail filed by two attorneys against the continuous incarceration of Lassman’s widow, Mrs. Agnes Lassman, alias Leelempo and her boyfriend Kwabla Dorho, alias Kobby.

The two had been in police custody since December 1, 2003 after being charged for the murder and conspiracy to murder of Lassman. They both pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Earlier on, counsel for the widow, Mr. Musah Ahmed, submitted to the court that his client should be granted bail because she was being held against the laws of Ghana.

He submitted that the law do not allow the State to hold a suspect when there is no reasonable suspicion against him.

He told the court that the police report has exonerated the accused persons of committing the crime, and therefore their incarceration was an infringement on the Criminal Code.

The court presided over by Justice Acquah granted the two accused person bail of 500 million cedis each without surety to be justified.

The report, which has been sighted by this reporter, noted that the police after painstaking investigations across the Atlantic found a suicide note in which the deceased had decided to take his own life.

The report indicates that information sought by the Ghana Police from handwritten experts in Sweden disclosed that the suicide note was really in the handwritten of the deceased.

The report also indicates that the police retrieved the laptop of the deceased and after decoding the message in Sweden, it was realised that the deceased also had a write–up on his laptop about his suicide.

Lassman was found late last year soaked in his owned blood on his bed with 15 stab wounds on the left side of his chest.

The police subsequently charged his Kenyan wife and her Ghanaian boyfriend Kobby with murder whilst they investigated other clues on the death of Lassman, including the possible role of a Swedish business partner in the affair.
