The Eastern Regional Police Command of the Ghana Police Service has begun investigations into the murder of a 23-year-old lady at Trom, a surburb of Koforidua in the Eastern Region.
Her lifeless body was found in her rented apartment on Saturday night after the suspect, her boyfriend, led police to the place.
According to co-tenants with the deceased, the boyfriend was the last person to visit her during a naming ceremony.
They are shocked at the incident because they did not hear any scream for help from the deceased room.
“I saw him when he entered, he didn’t even greet us. He looked calm in demeanour. I am so shocked this has happened. When he entered we were already having the naming ceremony. This is soo sad,” one of the male tenants said.
The suspect turned himself in to the police on Saturday night, leading to the discovery of the lifeless body in a pool of blood.
A return to the scene with the suspect on Sunday to find the sharp object used in the murder was not unsuccessful, police said.
A careful observation of the scene indicates the deceased struggled with the suspect.
The suspect is currently in police custody as investigations continue.
This is the second case of a murder by a suspected boyfriend in a space of weeks in the Eastern Region.
