Family of five in horrible death in K’dua

The Eastern region Police command has appealed to the general public to feed the police with vital information that might have caused the death of the family,

The Deputy Eastern Regional Police Public Relations Officer, Sergeant Gideon Boateng said, police in the Eastern region have been able to gather some relevant information for their investigations but appealed to the public to feed them with more.

Oman News has gathered that the deceased father of the family of five who died in the suspected acid attack in Koforidua had accused his wife on of infidelity on countless occasions.

According to Kumwuramhene Sampson our Eastern Regional correspondent, Kwesi Asare had been monitoring his wife's phone calls since he returned from abroad.

Sampson said Asare would monitor his wife’s phone conversations and confront some male customers who came to buy from her and would tell everyone in the neighbourhood that his wife was cheating on him but he had no evidence to support his claims.

It would be recalled that the family of five died after a suspected acid attack in Yaw Kyeremakrom, a suburb of Koforidua in the Eastern region.

Some residents had claimed that they overheard Kwesi Asare, 50, threatening to kill his wife, Maa Jane, believed to be in her 40s.

According to the residents, they found the burnt bodies of the man, his wife and his three children (Ellen 15 years, Edmund, 7years and Ohene 4years) in their room.

They described Jane as a very hardworking and caring woman who lived happily with her children in the house until her husband returned from Spain about a year ago and joined them.

Kumwuramhene Sampson said Ama Larbi, who had been close to the family, said the couple had been going through some financial crisis after the man returned. She believes the escalation of the problem in the past few days might have caused the tragedy.

She said Jane supported the family with money from her second-hand clothing business and did not engage in extra marital affairs having known her for about a year.
