Man, 24-years murders girlfriend, dump body on waste site

A young man believed to be 24-years-old known only as Isaac has allegedly killed his girlfriend and deposited the disfigured body on a waste site.

The omen happened at Onakwase a farming community near Kofi Pare in the Ayensuano District of the Eastern Region.

Sources said a misunderstanding arose between the cohabitating couple about a month ago.

The deceased, Abigail Larbi believed to be in her 20s, therefore, moved out of the house with her two children including a two-year-old baby, to stay with her mother at Kofi Pare -a nearby community.

Three weeks ago, the suspect, however, enticed his irritated partner to board a motorbike he took to the community under the trick of hanging out with her, at a time her mother had stepped out from the house.

The young woman was never seen again in the community.

Police investigations led to the arrest of one of the Okada riders mistrusted to be an accomplice.

During police questioning, the rider informed the police about the incident but stated the suspect briefly disclosed to him before leaving the community to Accra.

“The suspect after committing the atrocious crime called the rider to bring his luggage to the Dokrochiwa community. So after collecting the bag, he left for Accra on that fateful day,” a resident narrated.

Further investigation by Police led to the arrest of the prime suspect – Isaac at Madina in the Greater Accra Region on good Friday.

The suspect was, however, quiet despite being pushed by Police detectives.

He later spoke with a family member who visited him at the Police cell.

Attempts by Police to take the suspect to the crime scene on Saturday, April 3, 2021, were met with anger by some residents who besieged the scene demanding the release of the suspect to be lynched.

Due to the volatile environment, the suspect was kept in a Police vehicle under guard when the investigators went to the dumping site where the mutilated body of the deceased was deposited to take inventories. They took the rotting body to the morgue for further investigation.

An eyewitness said the tongue, vagina, and breast and even the head were believed to have been removed by the suspect.”

Samuel Otu Larbi a former Assembly Member said “three weeks ago the lady went missing. Meanwhile, the suspect had taken someone’s motorbike and rode to Accra. So investigation led to the arrest of the guy who gave his motorbike to him. The boy also opened up to police that the suspect asked him to bring his bag to him. So there was pressure on the boy to help find the whereabouts of the suspect. So the suspect was arrested at Madina. The suspect was uncommunicative until his Uncle went to the Police cell to speak to him before he divulged the information. So the Uncle left the police cells and went to where the body was dumped to confirm before notifying the police”.

The acting Public Relations Officer of the Eastern Regional Police Command, Sergeant Francis Gomado said, the Command was yet to be updated on the incident.
