A 28-year-old man identified as Uncle Fii has reportedly stabbed her 22-year-old girlfriend, Patience Abena Obeng, to death at Ekumfi Dunkwa in the Central region.
The incident is reported to have occurred in the evening of Sunday, October 1.
Information gathered indicates that Uncle Fii stabbed Patience with scissors and a chisel, leading to her death.
According to family members, Patience left home at about 10:30 p.m. on Sunday to visit her boyfriend.
Around 11:00 p.m., Uncle Fii’s co-tenants said they heard Patience shouting for help, but they ignored her.
According to them, this was because they usually engaged in such fights.
Patience’s mother, Ekua Essumamba, said she rushed to the house after she received the information, but there was no response after several knocks on the door.
She forced the door open and found her daughter’s lifeless body in a pool of blood.
The distraught mother said her daughter ignored her advice to break up with the boyfriend after several complaints of assaults.
Though saddened by her daughter’s death, she believes it was self-inflicted.
Meanwhile, the suspect was said to have attempted to take his life by drinking weedicide but was found and rushed to the Saltpond Government Hospital for treatment and has been placed under arrest.
Meanwhile, the father of the deceased, Ekow Baidoo, is calling for justice for the murder of his daughter.
