A 15-year-old boy has tragically lost his life in Kasoa American Town after allegedly being beaten by his mother for stealing GH¢80.00.

Reports indicate that the boy’s mother, who runs a well-known bakery in the area, noticed her GH¢80.00 missing and suspected her son of theft over the weekend.

She reportedly beat him and threatened to report him to the police if he did not confess.

Unfortunately, the boy passed away in a taxi while being transported to the police station.

On Monday, GNA visited the boy’s home, where relatives were observed mourning in traditional attire. They chose not to comment on the situation but confirmed that the incident had been reported to the Kasoa Divisional Police Command.

However, further inquiries at the police station revealed no record of such a report. Additionally, the mother’s bakery was found closed during the GNA visit.

The boy’s body has been taken to the Mother and Child Hospital in CP, a suburb of Kasoa.
