The father of Kweku Siaw, a 25-year-old washing bay attendant accused of murdering his 18-year-old partner in Nkawkaw, has shared his perspective on what might have led to the tragic incident.

Speaking to reporters after the body of the young woman was discovered, Siaw’s father revealed that the couple frequently argued.

He was visibly shocked and unable to comprehend the motive behind his son’s actions, stating that Kweku had never shown signs of being deeply unhappy or resentful toward his partner.

He also mentioned that the night before the incident, the entire family, including Kweku and his late partner Adwoa, had shared a meal, adding to his confusion about why his son would commit such a crime.

When questioned about whether he had ever suspected his son of being capable of such an act, he responded, “My son has never done such a thing like this before.”

He continued to say, “We all sat together and ate yesterday. At dawn, I left the house to attend to my farm. Because there is no network coverage in the farm, I wasn’t able to receive calls.

“To be frank, they fought a lot but on the day of the incident, nothing showed they had fought or had a quarrel,” he narrated.

At the time of this report, the police have transported the deceased’s body to the morgue, and Kweku Siaw's whereabouts remain unknown.
