The Awutu Ofaakor District Police Command has arrested a 30-year-old man identified as Moses over the suspected murder of his girlfriend at Yamoah Nkwanta in the Awutu Senya West District of the Central Region.
Citi News gathered that the suspect, a resident of Oboman in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region, visited the deceased, identified as Sister Yaa, to spend the night with her.
However, a misunderstanding broke out between the two when the deceased denied the suspect sex.
The suspect reportedly inflicted machete wounds on the deceased before dragging her out of her room and smashing her head with a concrete block, killing her instantly.
Chief of Awutu Yamoah Nkwanta, who doubles as the Ogyahene of Awutu Traditional Council, Nai Achiene Acheampong Kuma, told Citi News that he personally made a report to the police after learning about the incident, leading to the suspect’s arrest by police in Yamoah Nkwanta and subsequently handed over to the Ofaakor District Police Command.
Remains of the suspect have since been deposited at the Police Hospital morgue while efforts are being made to establish contact with family of the victim.
