In another case, Mabel Asantewaa, a 26-year-old fashion designer, has been stabbed to death by her boyfriend after refusing him sex.
According to reports, the incident happened at Kalabule Chinese, near the Kasoa Tollbooth, in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.
The suspect, identified as Sammy, a 29-year-old carpenter, reportedly killed the deceased when he became violent after a brief argument over a sex request, and the victim declined.
Bra Sammy then reportedly stabbed Mabel Asantewaa several times, leading to her death.
