In a shocking turn of events, a distressing piece of news has emerged from Bekwai, revealing the untimely demise of Akua Serwaa, believed to be the daughter of the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) of Bekwai in the Ashanti Region, Kwaku Kyei Baffour.
Akua Serwaa was found unconscious by her husband and was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
According to sources, the unfortunate incident took place Thursday August 3, when Akua Serwaa was allegedly attacked by unknown assailants in the town of Atwima Bebu. The circumstances surrounding the attack remain unclear, leaving the community in a state of shock and mourning.
Upon discovering his wife in a critical condition, Akua Serwaa’s husband promptly rushed her to the nearest hospital. However, despite the best efforts of medical professionals, she could not be revived, and her tragic passing was confirmed upon arrival.
Speaking on the matter, the Assembly Member for the Bebu electoral area, Boakye Ansah, said the husband of the deceased discovered her lifeless body upon returning from work, with her neck turned unnaturally.
“This happened yesterday evening and from my committee members’ account, a lady has been murdered, the husband said he told his wife to come home early and prepare dinner and when he returned around 7pm, he realised that the handle of the main door to their house has been broken and that was strange because they always lock the door even when they are home.
“The husband began calling out his wife’s name but there wasn’t any response; he searched for the wife and saw that she had been murdered at one of the exits of the house but per the account of eyewitnesses, there was no weapon wound or sharp cut but this is a layman’s view but an autopsy report should be able to determine what killed her.”
The police were immediately notified and have begun their investigations into the circumstances surrounding the young woman’s death.
The news of Akua Serwaa’s death has sent shockwaves through the region, as the daughter of a prominent public figure has fallen victim to a heinous crime.
