Nyinahin (Ash), July 3, GNA - The Nyinahin Police have arrested a 26-year-old barber, Kwame David, for strangling his mother, Madam Abena Badu, 60, to death.
Briefing the Ghana News Agency Detective Sergeant Stephen Owusu said that on May 28, the deceased went to her farm at Tanodumase in the Atwima Mponua District at about 0900 hours but never returned.
