Hairdresser Poisons Herself And Son To Death At Buduburam

A decomposed body of a hairdresser and her thirteen-year-old son has been discovered in their locked room at Gomoa Budumburam in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region. Information indicates that the deceased, a Liberian was found hale and hearty with her son earlier on Monday June 12, 2023. But the two were not seen afterwards.

According to neighbors, they did not feel any cause for alarm as they thought she had gone to undertake her usual duties as a hairdresser. However, in the early hours of Wednesday, June 14, 2023, residents began smelling a bad odour emanating from the direction of her room, so they went and broke the window only to find both the woman and her son dead in the room and their bodies beginning to decompose.

They quickly went to the Gomoa Budumburam Police Station to report the incident. The bodies have been deposited at the Winneba Specialist and Trauma Hospital Mortuary for autopsy and Preservation. Liquid believed to be poisonous was retrieved from the room to assist police investigation. Residents suspect the hairdresser poisoned herself and her son since the door was locked from inside.
