Who Killed Thomas Frimpong?

A number of Ghanaian musicians who visited the residence of the late Thomas Frimpong during a week's commemoration of his death are suspicious that the death of their colleague may be supernatural. Most of them were of the view that someone who hated the musician because of his achievements and fame might have caused his death.
