A deputy director of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA) Philip Caezar Kumah has allegedly beaten
his girlfriend to death
at Akatsi North in the Volta region.
According to the Volta Regional
Police PRO, Sgt. Prince Dogbatse, the victim Elizabeth Yesutor, complained to
her friends about the constant abuse by her lover but failed to heed to advice
to report the abuses to the police.
“I had background information on
the issue and so I asked the victim to report to the police but that didn’t
happen. The gentleman is now in our custody and hopefully, we’ll be going to
court today, then we’ll see what happens.
“In one such case, she was
hospitalized but after she gained her health back, she went to withdraw the
case. There have been various instances where he had abused this lady,” Sgt.
Dogbatse told Francis Abban on the Morning Starr Thursday.
The victim died at the Ho
teaching Hospital on Monday, March 8, 2021.
Meanwhile, the Madina District Court has
remanded one Prince Charles Dedjoe into East Legon Police custody for allegedly
murdering his wife.
The Magistrate Effua Tortimah in
refusing the bail said until the docket has gone to the Attorney General for
advice she has no power to grant bail.
The court said the case is not even at the committal stage
and if they wanted bail they should apply to the High Court.
The was after the prosecutor Sargent Eva Gidiglo had opposed the bail application moved by
the lead counsel for the accused, Captain Nkrabia Effah Dateh, saying that
investigation is still ongoing.
