She was pronounced dead at the St John's Government Hospital in Sefwi Asafo.

The raging husband, did not budge and went into the room, came back with a gun and shot his wife.
The Assemblyman for the electoral area, Eric Nkrumah who confirmed the incident said the man absconded after murdering his wife.
