Wife Burns Husband To Death

A 54-year old Ghanaian woman, Theresa Nkrumah is in for it as she has been remanded for allegedly burning her 55-years old husband, Emmanuel Kwame Osam.

According to sources Osam and his 34-years old girlfriend, Akosua Tiwaa were burnt to death by his wife on Thursday, December 13, 2018 at Akyem Gyadam near Oda in the Eastern Region of Ghana and their bodies have been deposited in the morgue.

Speaking at the Oda District Magistrates Court, police prosecutor, Inspector Rosemond Mensah Aryee said;

“Nkrumah had known her husband was having an affair with Tiwaa. They had quarreled about it on several occasions but Osam and Tiwaa’s relationship persisted.”

“Abaidoo told the court that around 12:05am on December 13, 2018, while Osam and Tiwaa were fast asleep in the former’s family house, fire suddenly engulfed the bedroom through a window after an unidentified person had poured petrol into the room and lit a match to it.”

“When the lovers tried to escape, the deceased persons detected that the door to the hall had been locked with a red padlock so they started screaming for help.”

“As their screams attracted people in the house and broke into the room, they realised that the two persons were badly burnt so they rushed them to the Oda Government Hospital.”

“Tiwaa died immediately she reached the hospital so Osam was treated and was referred to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital for specialist attention the following day. Osam died around 11pm on December 16, 2018 while on admission at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital.”

“The incident was reported at the Oda Divisional Police Headquarters and Nkrumah was arrested at Gyadam at her stall. While Osam was being taken to the hospital, he repeatedly said that it was his wife, Nkrumah, who is responsible for his ordeal.”

“Even though Nkrumah in her caution statement to the police had denied knowledge about the crime. However, police investigations revealed that Nkrumah had bought the red padlock from a shop at Gyadam in the afternoon before the incident occurred.”
