THE POLICE in Tepa, in the Ashanti Region, are holding a 35-year-old man, Awini Baba, over the sudden death of his wife, Mariam Dramani Anaba, 41.
The suspect allegedly assaulted his wife, leading to her demise, at a location within the Jacobu Electoral Area, around 7pm on March 4, 2022.
The heartbreaking case was said to have been reported to the police in the Tepa area, who rushed to the scene and found Mariam’s dead body.
However, upon a thorough search of the body, the police could not find any mark that suggested violence. Baba was therefore detained to assist them in investigations.

“Police visited the scene of crime and saw Mariam Dramani Anaba’s body lying in a supine position,” a police report seen by the paper disclosed.
It added that Mariam’s “body was inspected but no marks of violence was found. No foul play suspected,” adding that the body was taken to a morgue for autopsy.
“Meanwhile, suspect Awini has been detained to assist investigation,” the police report said.
