It has now emerged that Georgina Pipson, the 31-year-old mother suspected of killing her five children at Gomoa Nyanyano near Kasoa in the Central Region, poisoned them with parazone, a powerful, corrosive detergent.

The Children are Kwaku Osae Asante 11, Nana Yaw Asante 9, Angel Akua Asante 6, Kofi Asante 4 and Esi Asante 1.

Georgina Pipson has also been confirmed to be a long time patient of the Pantang Mental Hospital, suffering from mental instability. She is on the run while the police have mounted a manhunt for her.

Family sources also confirmed that she has had disagreements with the father of her children which have consistently resulted in fisticuffs between herself and a new girlfriend of Mr. Christian Asante, her husband.

Tawia Pipson, a sister of the murder-suspect has told Asempa News that Georgina called her Tuesday morning and requested her to attend to the children. She said accompanied by the estranged husband, they forced her door open only to find the five children dead and arranged according to their ages.

Ms Tawia Pipson said the sister had been a patient with the Pantang Mental Hospital for some time now and has been recovering but has had problems also with her marriage. She said the father of the children has a new woman in the house who quarrels with the sister anytime she goes visiting the children.

Early on, the father of the five children, Mr. Christian Asante had told Asempa News that the mother visited him at Gomoa Nyanyano on Sunday January 3, this year. Mr. Asante said he had received visitors later in the evening that Sunday and only realized that Georgina Pipson [the wife] had taken the children to an unknown destination.

He said it was not until this morning that the sister of the suspected killer-mother informed him that the mother and the five children had been sighted but when they visited the house, they found them already dead.
