Woman beheaded at Asamankese
Kwabena Aflo, a 32- year-old unemployed, is
currently in the grip of the Asamankese Police
Command for allegedly murdering an old woman, a
palm oil seller, Mama Cecilia Agba, 65, in her own
farm, after purportedly attempting to rape her.

The deceased's body has been deposited at the
Asamankese Government Hospital morgue, awaiting
autopsy, while the police are busily investigating
the matter to process the suspect to court.

Daily Guide gathered that the deceased lived
together with her family of six at Sukron-
Bethlehem, a suburb of Asamankese in the Upper
West Akim District of the Eastern Region, as well
as the suspect.

An eyewitness, Kwasi Ato, told Daily Guide that
Wednesday morning, the deceased told her husband,
Mr. Ofori, that she was going to the farm.

According to the eyewitness, when Madam Agba got
to the farm, the suspect was sitting under one of
the palm trees, smoking a substance believed to be
marijuana.

However, the old lady moved on to cut some palm
fronds without talking to Kwabena Aflo, the
suspect.

Mr. Kwasi Ato narrated further that the suspect
moved towards the old lady and allegedly pushed
her onto the ground.

Aflo purportedly undressed her with intent to have
sexual intercourse with her, but she struggled
with him to disentangle herself from the grip of
the suspect.

The eyewitness said the old lady's resistance
angered the suspect, who allegedly took the
machete in the woman's basket and cut off her head
after butchering her mercilessly.

Kwasi Ato indicated that the suspect, sensing that
he would be arrested, ran back to home to change
his shirt, which had become blood-stained.

According to the eyewitness, when the other
tenants saw Aflo's bloodstained palms and
questioned him on what had happened, he told a
lie.

They consequently arrested him and took him to the
police station.

DSP Samson Anane Appiah, the Asamankese Police
Commander and his men sent the suspect back to the
bush to show where the lifeless body of the old
lady was lying; and found it lying in a pool of
blood.
