Woman arrested for allegedly murdering husband in cold blood

A 40-year-old woman, identified as Mmaa, has been arrested by the Bole District Police Command in the Savannah Region for allegedly murdering her husband following a domestic dispute at Bole.

The deceased, a farmer, is reported to have nine children with the suspect, with their youngest child being about four years old.

According to a report by adomonline.com on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, one of the couple's children told investigators that her parents had an argument during the night, but she did not consider it serious and went to sleep.

“She said she later woke up after hearing her mother allegedly threaten to kill her father before striking him on the head while he was asleep,” the report said.

His body has since been released to the family for burial, while the suspect remains in police custody at the Bole Police Station as investigations continue.
