A man believed to be in his late 30s has been arrested by the Awutu Jei-Krodua District Police Command for allegedly killing his girlfriend with a concrete block at Awutu Yamoah Nkwanta in the Awutu Senya West District of the Central Region.
The deceased, identified as Sister Yaa, was found dead in a pool of blood with a concrete block placed on her face. Police investigations reveal that the suspect, a resident of Oboman in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region, had gone to spend the night with his girlfriend but ended up killing her after she allegedly refused him sex.
Reports indicate that the suspect first inflicted multiple cutlass wounds on the victim’s face before smashing her head with a concrete block, resulting in her death.
The Chief of Awutu Yamoah Nkwanta and Ogyahene of the Awutu Traditional Council, Nai Achiene Acheampong Kuma, acted swiftly by notifying the Jei-Krodua and Kasoa Ofaakor District Police commands, which led to the arrest of the suspect.
The suspect is currently in police custody assisting with investigations, while the body of the deceased has been deposited at the Police Hospital Mortuary in Accra.
