Some of the family members engaged in a tussle

Two families clash at murdered woman’s burial
There was confusion at the final funeral rites of
a 48-year-old trader, Beatrice Ama Osah, when some
members of her family refused to pour libation to
stop the ghost from haunting her husband, Samson
Kwabena Ohene.

Ama Osah was allegedly beaten to death by the
husband for switching off their ceiling fan in the
night because she was feeling cold.

The confusion started when family members of the
deceased stormed the venue for the burial service
near the Dansoman Market in Accra on Saturday, and
prevented Ohene’s family head, Opayin Yaw
Frimpong (who had travelled from Kwahu in the
Eastern Region) from performing the marriage rites
and the pouring of the libation.

These generated into heated argument between the
two families, which resulted in a brawl as members
of both families pelted each other with stones and
metals.

The development halted the burial ceremony for
hours as some sympathisers run for cover.

It took some elders in the area to intervene
before the casket was conveyed to Kwahu for burial
without the performance of the marriage rites and
the pouring of the libation.

Earlier, the deceased family had agreed to allow
the relatives of Ohene to perform the marriage
rites before the burial ceremony as traditions
demands to pave way for libation to be poured to
stop the deceased from tormenting Ohene.

The decision, however, did not go down well with
family members and friends of the deceased, and
they opposed the pouring of the libation.

The Ghanaian Times learnt that the family of
Ohene was asked to buy the casket and provide
money for the funeral, and the family assured that
they would allow the pouring of libation to stop
the ghost of Ama Osah from hunting Ohene but that
did not materialise.

It is recalled that The Ghanaian Times on
Thursday, July 21 published a story about Ama Osah
a trader at the Dansoman market, who was allegedly
beaten to death with a stool by her husband,
Ohene, for switching off a ceiling fan in the room
because the weather was cold.

Ohene attacked the wife a with a chair until she
became very week, but she managed to go to the
market the following day.

On her return home, Ama Osah complained of
headache and Ohene rushed her to the Dansoman
Polyclinic, but she was referred to the Korle Bu
Teaching Hospital, where she was pronounced dead
on arrival.

Ohene who is currently in police custody has two
children with the deceased.
