\n
A 22-year-old housekeeper is standing trial for the alleged murder of her mistress after stealing over $5,600 from her Ayeduase residence in the Oforikrom Municipality of the Ashanti Region.<\/strong><\/p>\n
The accused, identified as Maku Kuame, is reported to have killed her mistress, Margaret Oppong, 83, after she interrogated her about the missing money at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The son of the deceased, Kwame Boateng, claims the accused admitted the murder to the police.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe told the police that she plotted with her boyfriend to get rid of our mother after she kept questioning her about the missing dollars in the house\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n
\u201cMy mother has children outside the country and so we send her money from time to time. She lost $32,000, then followed with $18,000 and later $200 and $400 respectively,\u201c he disclosed.<\/p>\n
\u201cUpon suspicion that the house help was behind the missing monies, my mother threatened to arrest her if she failed to return the amount.<\/p>\n
\u201cBefore she could do anything, the suspect allegedly allowed her boyfriend into the house, accosted my mother in her room, and killed her.\u201d<\/p>\n
The lady who was arrested on December 22, 2023, first appeared before the Asokwa District Court on Wednesday, January 3, 2024.<\/p>\n
She was further remanded into police custody to make a second appearance on Wednesday, 17 January 2024.<\/p>\n
The police prosecutors say investigations into the case of murder have been completed with a duplicate docket sent to the Attorney-Generals\u2019 office for advice.<\/p>\n
The relieving judge, Kwaku Baah Frimpong, granted their request for an adjournment of the case.<\/p>\n
The accused was remanded into police custody and the case was adjourned to February 2, 2024.<\/p>\n
The family of the deceased woman says they are disturbed over the incident and have vowed to pursue the case in the interest of justice.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn autopsy report is ready. And so, this will pave the way for her to be buried and the final funeral rites have been slated for 25th<\/sup>\u00a0May.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe family remains unsettled by this terrible loss, and we will continue to seek justice for our late mother,\u201d said Joyce Dabosub, a family member.\u00a0<\/p>\n
