A man identified as Kwadwo Ben, who works as an Okada rider, has been accused of murdering his 17-year-old girlfriend, Adwoa Adadzoa, and reportedly kept her lifeless body in a bedroom for three days in Mpatuam, located in the Amansie West District of the Ashanti Region.

The suspect, believed to be in his mid-20s, allegedly committed the crime on Tuesday, November 6, 2023.

However, it wasn't until Thursday, November 8, 2023, that some residents in the area discovered the deceased girl's body in Kwadwo Ben's room.

The mother of the victim, Akosua Nkrumah, shared this information in an interview with OTEC News reporter Jacob Agyenim Boateng.

"They have been dating for some time now, although I did not approve of it, the two kept going out, just three days ago my daughter visited him and did not return".

"We live in the same community and so my daughter sometimes spends time with him, I never suspected any foul play until some boys in the area informed me about the incident. I rushed to the scene with some people only to confirm that indeed my daughter was dead"

"We invited the police and upon their arrival, they said their preliminary investigation suggests my daughter might have died three days ago”, she said.

She went on to say that the dead had deep, dark scars around her neck and that blood was dripping from her nose and anus.

The body has been transported to the morgue at Frimpong Boateng Hospital in order to be preserved.

Arrest:

The bereaved mother stated that the suspect had been arrested.

She said the suspect was arrested by some residents while he was making arrangements to get the body out of the room and secretly dispose of it.

He was subsequently handed over to the police at Anhwerewa where he is being investigated.
