Nine years have passed since the brutal murder of JB Danquah-Adu, a former Member of Parliament. His wife, Ivy Heward-Mills, still remembers the indelible smile he left behind. But the pain of his loss remains, and the quest for justice continues.
In a heartfelt post on social media platform, Facebook, Ivy expressed her frustration and disappointment at the lack of progress in investigating her husband’s murder. She appealed to Parliament of Ghana, to do something and drew parallels with the case of Jo Cox, a British MP who was murdered in 2016. Cox’s killer was found, tried, convicted, and sentenced within five months.
Ivy’s plea to the Parliament is simple: do not let 10 years pass without taking action. She urges them to break their silence and work towards bringing justice to her family. The wait has been long, and the wound still fresh. Ivy’s letter is a poignant reminder that justice delayed is justice denied.
