A Tema Magistrate Court, presided over Mrs Akosua Anokyewaa Adjepong, has ordered that the 28-year-old mother, who allegedly murdered her two children in Tema, is made to undergo a psychiatric examination to ascertain her mental stability.
Mrs Adjepong granted the order when prosecution made an application in court and the suspect Abigail Agbubia appeared before it on Wednesday.
Madam Agbubia, whose plea was not taken, has been remanded into police custody after a provisional charge of murder was read and explained to her in Twi.
