Police have detained two suspects, Kelvin Addai and Samuel Gyamfi, for allegedly attacking the body of a 36-year-old lady who was allegedly murdered at home.
The event happened on February 8, 2024, in Sene Bokankye in the Ashanti Region, when the two suspects broke into the deceased’s home in an attempt to rob it, according to a report by myjoyonline.com.
The deceased was allegedly struck twice in the head by the accused using a cement block while she was asleep. After realizing she was dead, the accused proceeded to sexually abuse her body.
She further said that her cell phone and GHC42.00 in cash were taken by them.
When the deceased’s son, who had returned from school, chanced to see how his mother was doing, he alerted the neighbors, who discovered her beaten, nude body in a pool of blood.
Following a police investigation of the deceased’s body, the report stated that semen was discovered surrounding the deceased’s genitalia and that there were large scratches on her left ear, a crushed skull around her forehead, and blood seeping from her nose.
Her remains were placed for autopsy and preservation at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital in Kumasi.
According to the postmortem report, she had unnatural sex, physical force trauma, and significant brain injuries.
During their police interrogation, the suspects admitted that they had entered the incomplete building where the deceased lives to smoke Indian hemp before breaking into her room to steal.
Inspector Abdul-Wahab Yusif Seoune of the Abuakwa Police conducted the investigation that resulted in the two suspects’ arrests after it was discovered that the deceased’s sim card and stolen phone belonged to them.
On March 17, 2024, Samuel Addai was taken into custody at Atwima Bokankye. However, his accomplice was able to elude capture and was apprehended two days later from his hiding place in Medie-Accra.
The two are reportedly being brought before the Akropong District Court on provisional accusations of murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
