Abuesi (WR) Sept. 25, GNA – The life of a
29-year woman, Madam Nyame Yie, who was believed to be pregnant with twins, had
been cut shot by some assailants believed to be from the Abuesi and Aboadze
communities.

The sorrowful incident which took place around
four o’clock in the evening of Sunday had brought fear and panic to most of the
community members the GNA interacted with on Monday.

Some of the women described the 29- year old
who was booked for a caesarean section at the Effia Nkwanta Hospital as a
respectful, serviceable and very welcoming personality who was loved by all.

Mr Emmanuel Mark Ackon, the Assembly man for
the area who confirmed the incident to the Ghana News Agency, said he received
a distress call about the murder of a pregnant woman near the community
cemetery at about 4 pm on Sunday.

According to him, he mobilized some opinion
leaders to the cemetery where they found the pregnant woman lying with an
opening on her head with blood oozing from her ear and three long sticks laid
beside her.

He said the community members identified her
and when her hospital folder was retrieved, it was realized that she had been
booked for a surgery on Tuesday 25 September, 2018 and only for her to meet her
untimely death together with the unborn twins.

Mr Ackon said the community later informed the
Police who came in and took the body to the Effia-Nkwanta Hospital Mortuary.

When the GNA visited the Shama District Police
Station, a Sergeant who pleaded anonymity confirmed the incident and said the
body had since been conveyed to the Mortuary.

Meanwhile, one Ato Kwamina alleged to be one
of the assassins, has been arrested and is in police custody assisting with
investigations.

The police confirmed that the lady who hails
from Apam in the Central Region and married to a native of Abuesi, a fisherman,
came for a funeral at the weekend but was left all alone in the family house.

According to the police apart from the deep
cut on the woman’s head, no body parts have been removed.
