A young man said to be in his
twenties has allegedly butchered an 18-year-old lady to death after raping her
at Hwereso near Ejisu in the Ashanti Region.
A survivor of the attack and an
eyewitness, Ama Emelia, said the attacker also slashed her and the mother of
the deceased with a machete when they tried to save the victim.
Speaking to Joy News’ Erastus Asare
Donkor, Emelia explained that three of them were in a room when they heard
a knock on the door at about 11:00 pm, Monday, March 21.
“We opened the door and saw a man.
He walked in and closed the door. We realized he had a hammer, a machete and a
knife on him. He told my mother-in-law to allow him to have sex with the
other lady [the deceased] or she would be killed. She obliged and he went on to
have sex with her,” Emilia explained.
She explained that while the man was
having sex with the deceased, he had the hammer and the knife in his hands and
warned the victim not to scream.
According to Emelia, at a point, the
victim complained that he should take it easy because she was a virgin but
he continued.
“After he was done, he stabbed
her in the chest. She died. Then he hopped onto her mother and butchered her
severally,” Emelia explained.
She said the attacker moved towards
her and she began struggling with him and they both slipped and fell in the
blood of the other lady on the floor.
Emilia added that she lay motionless
after that and the attacker thought she had died.
“He fled immediately and I also run
and shouted for help," she said.
According to her, the attacker lives
in the neighbourhood but the family does not have any relationship with him.
The lifeless body of the attacker
believed to be in his late twenties was found later by some residents of
Hwereso.
