A sports agent who worked with Rio

During the trial it was heard that defendant Paul Boadi, 34, had been attacked by up to seven men when his phone was stolen the week before Mr O'Shea's murder.

Boadi said that he and 8 others returned to give the "robbers" a "punch and a slap". With a KNIFE? This Ghanian ( who chooses nationality to suit any purpose) is a multi millionaire who jet-sets around the world and yet chooses to pick an armed posse to reclaim a Blackberry? He professes to speak for "good causes" . He is a self-aggrandising individual who has nothing good to offer. He is a highly dangerous individual.
