A deeply disturbing case has gripped the Ga South Municipality after a young woman was allegedly murdered by her partner in a domestic dispute that spiraled into violence. The suspect, identified as Bro Sammy, 35, is accused of fatally stabbing his girlfriend, Mabel Asantewaa, 26, following a disagreement over sex.
According to police investigations, the altercation began when Sammy reportedly demanded intimacy, which Asantewaa declined, citing menstruation. What began as a private disagreement escalated into a fatal attack, leaving the victim dead in her apartment at Kalabule Chinese near the Kasoa Tollbooth.
After the act, Sammy allegedly ingested a poisonous substance in an apparent suicide attempt. He was rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment. Upon regaining consciousness, he led police to the crime scene and pointed out the knife believed to have been used in the attack.
The Amanfrom District Court, presided over by Her Ladyship Emelia K Abruquah, has since remanded Sammy into police custody. He pleaded guilty during his initial appearance and is expected to reappear on October 19, 2025, as investigations continue.
The tragedy has sent shockwaves through the community, with residents struggling to process the brutal nature of the crime. Mabel, described by neighbours as a quiet and hardworking young woman, was reportedly a fashion designer with no known history of conflict with her partner.
As the case unfolds, it raises urgent questions about domestic violence, emotional instability, and the need for early intervention in volatile relationships. The community mourns a life cut short—and watches closely as justice takes its course.
