That was 30 minutes after the murder of his wife Bettie Jennifer.

However, the US Police revealed recently that Ghanaian actor, Chris Attoh, is now a prime suspect in his wife’s murder a few days after a sketch of the suspect, who shot Bettie Jennifer dead, was released.
George Matthews, a spokesman for the US police agency in Washington, D.C. who confirmed that Chris Attoh is now a suspect in his wife’s murder, said they are now investigating the actor’s tweet which came up few minutes before the murder of his wife.
Giving details about the physical appearance of the killer the police described him as “a black male with a thick build and black hair, wearing a dark shirt and pants.”
Chris Attoh and Bettie Jenifer got married at a private event at North Kaneshie, Accra, Ghana in October 2018. This was 10 months after divorcing DamiloIa Adegbite, a Nigerian actor with whom he has a son.
Prior to the week of the murder, Chris Attoh sparked speculation on social media that all was not well with his second marriage after he deleted all of Bettie’s pictures from his social media pages.
It was alleged that they had broken up but neither of the two has publicly confirmed or denied the story.
Bettie Jennifer was 44-year-old as of the time of her murder.
