A young woman has been murdered in cold blood in a room of Gameli Guest House in Somanya in the Yilo Krobo Municipality of the Eastern Region.
The Director of the Guest House David Teye Annor,63, reported at the Somanya Police station that on Monday, April 5, 2021 at about 3:00 pm a young man who gave his name as Charles Tetteh to the receptionist and a lady now deceased identified as Believe Sakitey checked into the Guesthouse and were expected to check out the following day at 12:00pm.
However, they were not heard of after the check out time elapsed forcing the curious receptionist to open the door of the room which was not locked only to see the deceased lying in a pool of blood on the bed but the man had managed to sneak out after the heinous crime.
The Somanya Police investigators were detailed to the scene.
Later, a team of investigators from the Regional Police Headquarters in Koforidua were also dispatched to the scene for crime scene analysis.
The investigators found in the handbag of the deceased an identity card bearing the name Believe Sakitey.
Also, a yellow fever card which had the telephone number of her brother.
The knife which was stained with blood and wrapped in black polythene kept under the mattress was also retrieved.
Family members came to the morgue to identify the deceased.
