Police have arrested a suspect identified as Paa Kwesi in connection with the death of a landlady, Madam Charlotte, following an alleged assault at her residence.
Paa Kwesi, who is the grandson of one of the tenants, reportedly fled the scene after the incident and went into hiding. Police intelligence later led officers to his hideout, where he was arrested. He is currently in police custody assisting with investigations.
According to information gathered, a misunderstanding arose between Madam Charlotte and some individuals in the community. During the incident, the tenant is said to have called her grandson, Paa Kwesi, to the house. Upon arrival, the suspect allegedly assaulted the landlady with a belt.
Shortly after the incident, Madam Charlotte’s condition reportedly deteriorated due to complications linked to high blood pressure. She was rushed to the Nyakrom Health Centre and later referred to another hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.
The suspect has, however, maintained that the incident was an accident.
The body of the deceased has been deposited at the Agona Swedru Mortuary, where an autopsy is expected to be conducted as part of ongoing investigations.
