43-year-old trader beaten to death by husband
Police in Dansoman have arrested a 40-year-old man
for allegedly beating his wife to death, Tuesday.

Joy News’ Maxwell Agbagba reports Ama Osah’s
alleged battery and subsequent death was caused by
her decision to switch off a ceiling fan in the
one-bedroom apartment she was staying with her
husband.

After her alleged battery she was rushed to a
nearby hospital but she was pronounced dead on
arrival.

Ama’s neighbours say the 43-year-old mother of
two – who sells disposal cups and bowls –
returned home from the market feeling feverish and
hence ordered her sister to put off the creaking
ceiling fan in her living room while she rested.

Angered by the Ama’s decision, her husband,
Kwabena Hemeng, descended on the trader and
started assaulting her, neighbours recount.

Eyewitnesses say Kwabena hit his wife with a chair
and other heavy objects in the living room.

Neigbours say the ten-year marriage of the couple
has been fraught with quarrels and
misunderstanding.

Kwabena Hemeng is currently assisting the Dansoman
Divisional Police Command with investigation.
