Mother stabbed to Death by Daughter at Abuakwa Asenemaso

In a shocking and disturbing incident, a 76-year-old mother  was brutally stabbed to death by her own daughter in Abuakwa-Asenemaso, Atwima Nwabiagya South, Ghana. The tragic event has left the community in shock and mourning.

According to reports, Joyce Boateng, the  daughter of the victim, stabbed her mother with a disability after being convinced by two pastors that her mother was a witch. The pastors, a male and female duo, allegedly told Joyce that her mother was practicing witchcraft, which led her to take drastic measures.

The assembly member for Asenemaso electoral area, Isaac Owusu Boateng, confirmed the incident and was revealed that Joyce had also attempted to poison herself.

“According to Joyce’s brother, he saw her heading towards the cemetery with blood stains.

The residents thought she was hurt. She later went to an agro-chemical shop and took one of the chemicals. But someone saw it and took it from her”, he said.

He expressed his concern about the lack of public awareness and education on such sensitive matters.

The victim, who was 76 years old and wheelchair-bound, had five children and was a respected member of the community. Her untimely death has sent shockwaves through the community, leaving many wondering how such a tragedy could occur.

“It’s a very sad situation,” said Isaac Owusu Boateng. “The media should educate people on issues like this. Some women respect their pastors more than their husbands in Ghana. If someone tells them something, they believe it meanwhile there is no evidence.”

This incident highlights the devastating consequences of false accusations and misinformation. It is essential for communities to come together to educate themselves about the importance of fact-checking and critical thinking, especially when it comes to sensitive topics like witchcraft.

The police have launched an investigation into the incident. The community is still reeling from the loss of this innocent life, and many are calling for greater awareness and education on issues like this.

As we mourn the loss of this innocent life, we must also acknowledge the importance of promoting tolerance, understanding, and critical thinking in our communities. We must work together to create a society where people are not driven by false beliefs and superstitions.
