According to reports, the deceased, known as Maa Adwoa or Mary Aidoo, experienced profuse bleeding before her untimely death. It was revealed that the cause of her sudden demise was an illegal medication administered by her 27-year-old boyfriend, Emmanuel Addo, in an attempt to terminate a two-month-old pregnancy, purportedly to salvage his marriage.

To keep the incident under wraps, the suspect, currently in police custody for assistance in the investigation, allegedly concealed the deceased's body in his room until Friday afternoon, around 1 pm, when his housemates had left for their daily activities.

The suspect, accompanied by a confidante identified as Archimedes, called a taxi to transport the deceased to Assin Anyinabrim Health Center. However, they were redirected to St. Francis Xavier Hospital in Assin Fosu, where the attending doctor pronounced her dead.

To persuade the bereaved family during negotiations, they offered to assume responsibility for the funeral expenses, coffin costs, and some compensation. This proposal was made with the understanding that the deceased is gone, and the suspect's incarceration will not bring her back.
