Police in Assin-Praso have intensified the search for a teenage father who allegedly poisoned his 10-day-old baby with a weed killer in the Assin North district of Ghana’s Central Region.
“The move was to kill the baby, who had become a burden of a sort to the suspect and the baby maman, to enable them to pursue their academic aspirations,” according to reports.
“We both planned to kill the baby to allow us to pursue our education. But the pain and trauma I endured during pregnancy and delivery made me change my mind, but little did I know that my boyfriend still haboured the intent to kill the innocent baby,” she said.
“She observed a foamy substance in the mouth of the baby and liquid stains in the child’s clothes amid vomiting as she returned from the bathroom,” she added.
The baby was rushed to the hospital, where it was discovered that the baby had been poisoned.
“He must be arrested as soon as possible because I have taken all the responsibilities upon myself, so why should he think of killing the baby,” according to the victim’s mother.
