A 15-year-old boy has lost his life in Kasoa American Town following an alleged beating by his mother over a missing GH¢80.00.

Reports indicate that the boy’s mother, who runs a well-known bakery in American Town, discovered her GH¢80.00 was missing and accused her son of taking it over the weekend.

She is said to have beaten him and threatened to turn him in to the Police if he did not admit to the theft.

Tragically, the boy passed away in a taxi while being transported to the Police station.

On Monday, GNA visited the boy’s home and found family members in mourning attire gathered there.

Though they chose not to comment, they confirmed that the incident had been reported to the Kasoa Divisional Police Command.

However, a follow-up at the Police station showed no report had been filed.

When GNA visited the mother’s bakery, it was found closed.

The deceased's body has been taken to the Mother and Child Hospital in CP, a Kasoa suburb.
