Ghanaian singer, Itz Tiffany born Tiffany Owusu is about to face some familial tragedy as her sister has been convicted of murder in the U.S.A
Valerie Owusu and her husband, Emmanuel Addae, were convicted by a Suffolk County Court of murder for beating their five year old son to death in 2021.
“This little boy was beaten and suffered for days at the hands of these defendants, one of whom was his own mother, until he unfortunately succumbed to his severe and extensive injuries,” said District Attorney Tierney.
“Thanks to the thorough investigation by the Suffolk County Police Department, the relentless pursuit of justice by the prosecutors assigned to this case, and the jury’s careful consideration of the evidence presented, the defendants have been held accountable for this horrific crime.”
According to the facts of the case, between March 30 and April 1, 2021, Owusu and Addae brutally beat King with at least four different instruments inside of their apartment in Lefrak City, Queens.
The couple watched King’s physical condition deteriorate for approximately three days until King lost unconsciousness.
According to prosecutors, neither Valerie Owusu nor her husband called 911, took King to the doctor, or provided any medical care to the child during this time that his condition deteriorated.
On April 1, 2021, Owusu and Addae brought King to a family member’s home in Brentwood and left him there to die.
The Suffolk County Police Department was called after the family member returned home the same day and discovered that the boy was deceased.
The medical examiner who conducted the child’s autopsy testified that King was beaten from head to toe, and that his injuries, which were too numerous to count, caused his death.
On March 22, 2024, Owusu and Addae were each convicted of Murder in the Second Degree, a Class A felony.
At their sentencing on May 1, 2024, both Owusu and Addae could be jailed from anywhere between 25 years to life in prison!
