During a visit to the family house, Mr Kwadwo Owusu Aduomi, the father of the deceased could not control his tears as he narrated the story to Sompa FM in Sunyani in an interview.

“I was at a funeral when I received a distress call that my daughter is unwell, so we rushed her to the hospital. The doctors and nurses were all around her to save her life but it all proved futile so we lost her. There were multiple bruises around the breast area, thighs and ribs”, he stated.

Mr Owusu Aduomi said the doctors told him his daughter died as a result of electrocution.
