According to the police, the deceased was found dead in a pool of blood with several injuries on her face.

In an interview with Adom News, the Awutu Bereku Station Officer, Police Chief Inspector, Stephen Tamakloe, said they proceeded to the crime scene after the husband of the deceased, Edward Sintim, came to lodge a complaint.
