A 45-year-old driver, suspected to have killed his wife, has been remanded into Police custody by the Asante Akropong District court in the Atwima Nwabiagya North District. 

The plea of Albert Cobbina was not taken, and he will reappear before the court presided over by Mr Emmanuel Wiafe Adu on September 15, this year. 

Police Chief Inspector David Kwabi told the court that the suspect, Cobbina and the deceased's wife resided at Fankyenebra, near Santasi in the Kumasi metropolis. 

He said, on August 24, this year, the suspect reported to the Suntreso police that his wife, Grace Asantewaa, had died in a pool of blood, and a kitchen knife was lying beside her. 

According to the Prosecution, the suspect is alleged to have rushed the deceased to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for treatment before she died on admission. 

Prosecution explained that the suspect, in his narration, gave inconsistent statements and was, therefore, detained upon suspicion, and after preliminary investigation, he was charged for the death of his wife and brought before the court, while the investigation continues into the matter.
