Actor, Chris Attoh finally speaks after he was accused of being involved in his late wife, Bettie’s murder

Ghanaian actor, Chris Attoh has finally reacted after he was accused of being involved in the murder of his late wife, Bettie Jennifer.

It could be recalled that Bettie, who is American, was shot dead in May 2019 in the parking lot of her office in Maryland, United States Of America.

The deceased had left the office in the 6300 block of Ivy Lane and was walking to her car when a man armed with a handgun approached her.

Sadly, when she tried to run away, the man followed her and fired at her multiple times, with at least one shot hitting her.

Following her death, Chris Attoh was accused of killing his wife.

The reason was that a week before the sad incident, the actor sparked speculation on social media that all was not well with his second marriage as he deleted all of Bettie’s pictures from his social media pages.

Also, he made sensitive content on Twitter shortly before his wife was murdered.

“When it comes to relationships, remaining faithful is never an option but a priority. Loyalty is ever.” The tweet reads.

Addressing this in a recent interview with Ghanaian media personality, Zion Felix, Chris said he had nothing to do with the murder of his wife although a tweet he had made at the time was suspicious.

According to him, he was never considered a suspect in the case involving the death of his wife.

In his words;

“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.

“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.”

On why it took him long to speak on the issue, Chris Attoh said;

“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 also praised the late Bettie Jennifer as he states that he decided to protect her memory by keeping some information to himself.

He added;

“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.

“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.”
