10 Year Old Girl Mysteriously Murdered At Sun City In Ashaiman

A ten year old girl was mysteriously murdered on Friday night in her room at Sun City, a suburb of Adjei Kojo, in the Tema West Municipality. The girl had returned home alone at about 2130 hours from the roadside where her mother sold food. The body of the girl had since been

deposited at the Tema General Hospital morgue by the Sun City Police. Ms Salomy Terkpertey, mother of the girl, returned home after about 2230 hours to find her daughter murdered with her throat and abdomen cut and parts of her intestines taken away. According to co

tenants, they were all inside their rooms watching television and, therefore, did not hear any scream or unusual noise until at about 2300 hours when they heard the victim’s mother screaming. They said, they rushed out to the scene only to see the girl's

lifeless body in a pool of blood with her stomach and throat slashed, a situation they described as shocking and scary. How the perpetrators managed to carry out such a heinous crime remained a mystery to the mourning community. Mr Frederick Nartey, father, said

he resided at Kade in the Eastern Region where he farmed, indicating that he woke up to a number of missed calls from his wife and some friends at about 0030 hours on Saturday, and returned the call only to be told that his daughter had been murdered. Mr Nartey

revealed that it was normal practice for the mother to ask the girl to return home before her, adding that, before her death, the victim’s mother asked her to go home and sleep while she continued selling. Mr Ali Issifu, landlord, said he was at home early on Saturday

morning when one of his tenants accompanied by a police officer informed him about the incident. Mr Issifu expressed shock and appealed to the police to unravel the mystery behind the murder as residents were now living in fear.
