E/R: Nursing Mother, 21 Killed By Unknown Assailants
The family of a 21-year-old nursing mother, Regina Asamoah, killed by an unknown assailant at Koforidua Asokore, is demanding justice.
Regina Asamoah, a 21-year-old new mother, was stabbed multiple times in broad daylight on August 27, 2023, while with her three-month-old daughter in a room at Koforidua-Asokore.
Regina died at the Eastern Regional Hospital.
Regina completed Koforidua Senior High Technical School in 2022.
She, however, got pregnant after school and delivered.
However, her life was cut short by an unknown assailant.
Regina was found unconscious in a pool of blood after being stabbed multiple times in the belly.
Francis Antwi, a widower, said the incident has come as a shock.
He said they were preparing for the naming ceremony of their baby this month.
“I am still in shock because she told me she was going to her mother for a while only to be told she has been stabbed to death. We were even planning to do a naming ceremony.”
Esther Osaebea, Esther’s mother-in-law called on the Ghana Police Service to speed up the investigation and arrest the assailant(s).
The Effiduase District Police Command has, however, made no headway in the arrest of the perpetrators.
Barely a week ago, a 54-year-old trader, Gloria Asare, was allegedly robbed and killed by unknown assailants on her way to buy cowhide meat in the same Asokore community.
Residents of Koforidua Asokore are worried about the recent killings and have therefore called for the installation of streetlights while police intensify patrols.
