Police sources have confirmed the sad incident to the media. According to them, the suspect is currently in Police Custody whilst investigation continues.


Meanwhile an eight month old baby who was at the back of the mother also sustained injuries and is currently on admission receiving treatment at the St. Joseph Hospital in Jirapa. Residents of the area says they are devastated by the incident and indicated they have been thrown into shock and mourning.


The regional police commander Dcop peter Ndekugri confirmed the tragic incident to the media and indicated investigations are underway to ascertain truth of the matter.




Issues of similar murder cases has increased in the country in recent times. In June this year, a farmer in Tepa, Ashanti murdered two women in cold due to little disagreement between families.


A similar case happened few weeks in the national capital Accra, where a suspected mentally challenged person stoned a young man to at the circle overhead. The woman was picked by police and body taken to the mortuary. However, the police is yet to officially update the public on that matter.


Measures need to be developed to help curb incidence of this nature in the country.  The psychiatric department as well as the security service can put heads together in order to place a measure or measures that prevent barbarism of this kind.
