The Police Public Relation Officer at Ho, Mr Joy Afegbedzi disclosed this to the GNA.Explaining the incident, he said investigations conducted by the police revealed that the deceased Kutorglo on March 28, 2008 complained of abdominal pains.Following the complaint one Kalami Korsi, a fish seller prescribed 'thalazole' capsule for her to reduce the pain.
The police said the deceased sent an errand girl whom she usually sent to buy her drugs for the preservation of maize, to purchase the thalazole for her.
The girl allegedly went to an agro-chemical shop instead of a pharmacy shop and bought four tablets of 'Protext' a drug used for maize preservation, instead of the 'thalazole' capsule.
The deceased took two pills of the 'protext' and gave the other two to a friend Gladys Tenge, 48, who had also complained of abdominal pains.
The abdominal pains of the two intensified and when they were rushed to the hospital, Miss Kutorglo was pronounced dead while her friend who is on admission is said to be responding to treatment.
