Apam (C/R), March 24, GNA - Deborah Saakwa, 26 year-old seamstress has been remanded in prison custody for allegedly murdering her husband, Napoleon Bentum a 44 year-old seaman.
Mr Charles Wiafe, presiding at an Apam Magistrate Court remanded the accused to reappear before the court on April 16 2007.
According to the prosecution, Bentum, alias Kwesi Attah and Deborah also known as Maame Attah both hailed from Gomoa Abrekum near Apam and had been married for six years.
On March 15 this year, the accused asked permission from the deceased to attend a funeral at a village near Agona Nyakrom but the husband refused.
