A man in his early 30s has been discovered dead under suspicious circumstances in his girlfriend’s room at Mpasatia in the Atwima Mponua District of the Ashanti Region.
The deceased, identified as Emmanuel Somuah, reportedly worked as an illegal miner, commonly known as galamsey.
According to community sources, Emmanuel was allegedly attacked over the weekend by a romantic rival while visiting his girlfriend, Cynthia.
Residents told Adom News that Emmanuel had rented the room for Cynthia and was known to spend most weekends there. However, it is alleged that Cynthia also entertained other men at the residence.
“Last Saturday, around 5 pm, Emmanuel Somuah came home unexpectedly and found his girlfriend Cynthia with another guy, identified as Jeffrey, in the room. We didn’t know what happened, but we saw Jeffrey running from the scene, and we later found Emmanuel Somuah lying on the floor,” an eyewitness recounted.
Some tenants rushed Emmanuel to the Toase Hospital, but he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The matter was reported to the police, leading to Cynthia’s arrest, while Jeffrey is currently on the run.
The body of the deceased has been deposited at the Afari Community Mortuary as the Nkawie Divisional Police Command launches an investigation into the incident.
