A 34 year-old man, Isaac Sackey is in the grips of the Baatsona Police for allegedly murdering a prostitute in his home at Manet near Spintex Road in Accra.
Greater Accra Regional Police Command PRO, ASP Afia Tenge told Adom News that the suspect who is currently in custody reported himself to the Baatsona Police on Thursday dawn after stabbing the lady he spent the night with.
The two reportedly had an argument after the man accused the lady of stealing his GHC 120 after he had paid her for her services.
According to ASP Afia Tenge, when the police arrived at the scene, they saw knife wounds on the stomach and the hip of the deceased whose name was only given as Tina.
She said the suspect after interrogation told the police he was a psychiatric patient and quickly reported the incident to the Accra Psychiatric Hospital after committing the heinous act but was later asked to report to the police.
Investigators, ASP Afia Tenge said have been sent to carry out background checks at the hospital after finding a psychiatric card in the suspect’s pocket.
She indicated that until they are able to crosscheck and confirm that the suspect is indeed a psychiatric patient, they won’t conclude that he is indeed a psychiatric patient.
She said the body has been deposited at the police morgue awaiting autopsy whiles investigations continue.
