An unknown assailant has murdered a female adult, Akosua Atta, popularly known as Anti Atta, at Abompekrom in the Obuasi West Municipality of the Ashanti Region.
The tragic incident reportedly occurred during a power outage in the town on Sunday evening.
Frederick Addo, the Assemblyman for Abompekrom Electoral Area, told Adom News that neighbours heard a scream for help coming from the deceased’s house.
They rushed to her aid and found her bleeding profusely inside her kitchen.
She was rushed to the AngloGold Ashanti (AGA) Hospital but died shortly after arrival.
A daughter of the deceased, identified only as Sister, expressed her devastation and said she cannot comprehend why anyone would commit such a heinous act against her mother.
The body has been deposited at the morgue, while the Obuasi Divisional Police Command has begun investigations into the incident.
