A 26-year-old man, Kwabena Adjei, has been arrested in Sunyani, Ghana, for allegedly murdering his 19-year-old Nigerian girlfriend, known only as Testimony, and hiding her body in a septic tank.
Adjei turned himself in to the police, accompanied by his uncle, claiming he was being haunted by the deceased’s ghost.
The incident reportedly stemmed from a heated argument between the couple, during which Adjei allegedly elbowed Testimony, causing her to lose consciousness and die instantly.
According to the Sunyani Municipal Operations Officer of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), ADO II Ignatius Noekor, Adjei kept the body in his room for three days before disposing of it in the septic tank, which is located near the Bono Regional Fire Command at Sunyani Magazine.
Police sought the GNFS’s assistance to retrieve the decomposed body. “We had to flush water into the septic tank to bring the body to the surface,” ADO II Noekor explained. The body was discovered last Friday in an advanced state of decomposition.
Adjei is currently in police custody, assisting with the investigation.
Authorities confirmed that this was only Testimony’s second visit to Adjei’s residence. Forensic examinations are expected to be conducted as the investigation continues.
