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.
He is said to have ingested poison afterwards, but later drank palm oil to counter its effect.
Neighbours said Sammy later called for help, leading residents to break into the room where Mabel was found in a pool of blood while the suspect lay weak on the bed.
Sammy, who was recently homeless and taken in by Mabel, had been in the relationship for less than three months.
He is currently under police guard, receiving treatment at the Amanfrom Polyclinic as investigations continue.
Meanwhile, the Accra Regional Police Command has begun investigations into the death of 26-year-old Mabel Asantewaa.
The Police statement revealed that preliminary findings indicated that the suspect, identified as Samuel, had allegedly attacked Mabel in her room and stabbed her in the neck.
Samuel later attempted suicide by ingesting a poisonous substance and was discovered unconscious and rushed to the Kasoa Polyclinic.
According to the statement, medical officials have confirmed that he was stable but unconscious.
The Accra Regional Police Command revealed that the Crime Scene Management Team has taken over the case to conduct a detailed forensic investigation.
In a related murder news, the family of the slain immigration officer, Stephen King Amoah, are demanding the full remains of the officer for burial.

The family member further called on investigators and the suspects to provide clarity and release any outstanding parts to the family.

Meanwhile, the aunt of the late Immigration Officer Stephen King Amoah invoked curses on suspects on Thursday, September 4, 2025, at the Adabraka District Court.
In a viral video, the aunt of the slain officer broke eggs, performed rituals, and invoked curses on those she believes are responsible for his death, extending the curse to their generations.
Speaking in the video, she invoked curses, saying, “Anyone responsible for his death should also suffer the same fate.
All your generation will suffer the same fate; the gods should deal ruthlessly with anyone responsible for his death, the gods shouldn’t spare anyone involved in his murder,” she cursed.
In addition, details of how the murder of Immigration Officer Stephen Amoah at the residence of the main suspect have emerged.
According to reports, Bright Aweh, the prime suspect, allegedly orchestrated the killing of immigration officer Stephen King Amoah with chilling precision.
Ghana Chronicles in a post on X on August 26, 2025, detailed, “Bright Aweh, the prime suspect, lived with his wife in a storey building. On the morning of the incident, he sent his wife on an errand, ensuring she was out of the house.
To clear the compound, Bright told his upstairs neighbour, who was leaving for work, not to return early because he planned to fumigate due to a “funny smell.”
When the neighbour offered to chip in for fumigation chemicals, Bright refused, insisting he’d handle it alone, raising suspicions about his true intentions.
Bright also confronted another neighbour about their CCTV facing his compound. The neighbour claimed it was faulty, but later installed a 360° camera that recorded three motorbikes entering Bright’s house before Amoah arrived. Their purpose remains a mystery”.
The further narrated, “Stephen Amoah, the victim, told his nephew he was visiting Bright to collect money owed to him. Tragically, he entered the house and never came out alive.
Later, Bright’s car was seen leaving the compound, its contents unknown, adding to the growing list of suspicious activities.
Disturbingly, WhatsApp messages were sent from Stephen’s phone after the incident, claiming, “I have received the money, my wife is not around, so today I am going to chase girls,” suggesting an attempt to mislead investigators.
Following Bright’s arrest, a second suspect, Thomas Zigah (AKA Nii Jaase), was apprehended. A third suspect was also detained but has since died under unclear circumstances.
The calculated moves by Bright—clearing the house, deflecting neighbours, and the mysterious motorbikes—point to a meticulously planned crime. What drove him to such lengths? The investigation continues”.
