The paper, quoted a police source at Agogo, saying that Akua and her ex-husband, Yaw Bekoe, 42, farmer, lived at Akutuase for ten years and had two children.

The sources said Yaw who never performed the necessary rites for official recognition by Akua's family, subjected her to severe beatings anytime there was a misunderstanding between them.

According to the paper, Akua who could not withstand the Mike Tyson type of punches ended the relationship. After Yaw failed to win Akua back, he hid in a bush with a single barrel shot gun and fired at her whiles she was returning home after drawing water from a public well. She died instantly and Yaw then shot himself.
