Husband and wife died from deep cuts on body

A Ghanaian husband and wife who were found dead in their Tottenham home died from multiple deep cuts to their bodies, an inquest can reveal.

Naomi Asante, 46, who was discovered with her husband in Loxwood Road on May 21, suffered multiple incised cuts to her chest.


Her 48-year-old husband Kenneth Asante was found with incised wounds to the neck.


At this stage, it is believed the deep wounds were made using a sharp object. Police currently believe the couple died after a domestic incident. The inquest, which was opened and adjourned on May 28, will reopen on August 23.


The investigation is ongoing.


Deaths in Tottenham

Homicide detectives are investigating the deaths of a married couple in Tottenham, north London, last month.


The bodies of Naomi Asante, 46, and her 48 year-old husband Kenneth were found at their home in Loxwood Road on May 21, 2012.


It has been reported that Naomi died of 'mulitple incised cuts to the chest' and Kennet of an 'incised wound to the neck'.


The Metropolitan Police classed the deaths as 'unexplained' while the investigation continued but news websites in Ghana have described the case as a 'murder-suicide.'
