Murder

The mother of a 25-year-old lady, allegedly murdered by her boyfriend in Ho in the Volta Region, has disclosed that the two started dating when they were in Junior High School.

Linda Gbologa said she didn’t know that the two Senior High School (SHS) graduates, who have been dating for six years, were at loggerheads.

Harriet Kafui Ahiati’s mother said initially, her family and Jay Dordorye’s family did not agree to the relationship and did all they could to separate them.

Madam Gbologa said the two have lived in harmony with Mr Dordorye coming over to their house to eat and sometimes spend the night.

According to the 43-year-old, she received a call from someone who asked where she was on Wednesday morning.

“I responded that I was out of town and by the time I got home I saw my daughter in a pool of blood. I couldn’t do anything but cry while the police consoled me and took the body away,” she said.

Residents of Ho in the Volta Region woke up to the sad news of another love story gone wrong after news broke that Mr Dordorye had reportedly murdered his girlfriend.

The 26-year-old, who plays for Silion Football Club, a second division team, later attempted to take his own life by hanging twice. He also slit his throat and stabbed himself in the stomach twice but did not die.

Mr Dordorye is currently being treated at the Volta Regional Hospital after he was arrested by the Ho Municipal Police command.
