Eighteen-year-old girl ends up in
mysterious death
Babianeha (B/A), July 22, Ghanadot/GNA – An 18-year-old
Senior High School dropout, Akua Rose, was at the weekend
found hanging inside a corn mill structure at Babianeha in
the Jaman South District.
A close relative of the deceased who declined to mention his
name told the Ghana News Agency that the family suspected
foul play.
He said a day before the incident a quarrel ensued between
the deceased and Nana Yaa Saa, queen mother of the town and
her three children.
The relative said the queen mother and her children accused
the deceased of being a harlot and that she had prepared a
meal for Nana Yaa Saa’s son “to win him and his money”, an
accusation the deceased refuted.
“Being provoked beyond her limit, the deceased invoked
curses on the queen mother and her children in the name of
the three shrines in the area”, the relative said.
He said both the queen mother and the deceased’s mother
intervened for the curses to be revoked but Nana Yaa Saa and
her children felt peeved “because the deceased used filthy
and abusive language against them”.
“In the process of revoking the curse, another fight ensued
between them during which the queen mother beat up the
deceased mercilessly and warned her to be wary of an
impending calamity”, the relative said.
The police have arrested but granted police enquiry bail to
the queen mother and her three children.
