Chris Attoh, Ghanaian actor, has spoken out about his alleged involvement in the gruesome murder of his late wife, Bettie Jennifer.
According to him, he was never considered a suspect in the case involving his wife’s untimely death.
In an interview with Zion Felix, Chris Attoh stated that, contrary to popular belief, he had nothing to do with his wife’s murder, despite a suspicious tweet he had made at the time.
“The tweet was about being truthful in relationships,” she explained. And I am a firm believer in this. Whatever you choose to call it, it’s a coincidence. But I’ll take this opportunity to state unequivocally that I was never a suspect in Bettie’s death. Never will I be.
“Bettie was one of my favourite people. And, while it’s natural for law authorities to speak with loved ones and close relatives in such circumstances, you should avoid being labelled as a suspect. If I did anything, I’m not going to be here. Let me state unequivocally that I have never been a suspect in that case.”
Speaking on why it had taken him long to speak on the issue, Chris Attoh attributed his silence to his quiet and reserved demeanour which has made him impossible for him to make public statements about his wife’s murder.
“To tell you the truth, I’m a very private person.” And if I didn’t do what I did, I’d be the most silent person in the room. Because I enjoy observing people and have nothing to prove to them. Who am I supposed to answer to, after all? And I’ve learned from my prior sins of oversharing that those who love me are affected.”
Chris Attoh was full of praise for the late Bettie Jennifer when he said he has decided to protect her memory by keeping some pieces of info to himself.
“The tweet was about being truthful in relationships. And I am a firm believer in this. Whatever you choose to call it, it’s a coincidence. But I’ll take this opportunity to state unequivocally that I was never a suspect in Bettie’s death. Never will I be.”
