Aboagye says he asked police to break down the door but says police were unable to do so because they did not have the tools.
I stumbled onto this thread searching for something else, but the above sentence tells most of the story as far as I'm concerned.

There didn't seem to be any reluctance on the part of the police to break down the door, only that they were too whimpy to do so without tools.

Yes, I read the posts saying the dispatcher probably lied rather than just say, "They can't legally do that, sir", but I'm not buying it. Are dispatchers trained to just make stuff up rather than stating the simple truth?

And while police don't generally break down the door of the wrong address, they do break down doors and perform raids on the basis of anonymous tips, so the idea that they couldn't break down the door on the say so of the victim's husband, is a little silly.
