A house help murdered a woman in her sleep

A 22-year-old house help has been arrested for the alleged murder of an 83-year-old woman at Ayigya, in the Oforikrom Municipality, Ghana.

The suspect carried out the crime in connivance with her boyfriend, at dawn on Tuesday, January 2, 2024, when the old woman was asleep, reports said.

“The old woman accused the suspect of stealing monies her children abroad sent to her,” the suspect confessed.

The plea of Kuame, who was put before the court on Wednesday, January 3, 2024, was not taken and she would reappear before the court presided by Mr Kwaku Baah Frimpong, on January 17, this year.

The prosecution, led by Chief Inspector O.N Tetteh, prayed the court to remand the suspect to enable the police to continue with the investigations.
