Couple arrested for allegedly beating 13-year-old daughter to death at Kokrobite

Police at Kokrobite in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region have arrested a couple for allegedly beating their 13-year-old daughter to death after accusing her of eating her younger brother’s food.

The victim, identified as Baby, was reportedly assaulted by her father, Issah Mohammed, and her stepmother, Yaa Grace, after the latter claimed the girl had taken the food while Issah was away at work.

Sources indicate that Issah had previously divorced Baby’s biological mother following repeated incidents of abuse and is now living with his new partner, who has also been implicated in the case.

In a viral video circulating on X on November 20, 2025, neighbours alleged that Issah beat the child severely, resulting in critical internal injuries.

The couple has also been accused of confining Baby in a separate room without food or water, where she died the next day.

Suspicious neighbours alerted the police, leading to the arrest of both suspects.
