The Tema Circuit Court A on Tuesday heard how a false alarm of theft of a mobile phone led to the death of a 21-year-old man.
Kwesi Owusu was brutalized last Monday by a mob when he visited his girlfriend’s house at Lebene Junction, Ashaiman.
The prosecution told the court presided over by Mr Charles Asiedu that on arrival at the house of the girlfriend, Ama Besiwah at about 11 pm, Owusu was attacked by a crowd after a co-tenant in the house, Victoria Narwusi, accused him of stealing her mobile phone.
She allegedly shouted: “thief thief!” as she held Owusu and in no time, a crowd gathered and beat him up.
In the course of the assault, Owusu managed to break free and lodged a complaint at the Ashaiman Police Station.
However, so bad was his condition that the police took him to the Tema General Hospital where he died the following day.
Narwusi was arrested on a provisional murder charge.
Her plea was not taken and the court remanded her in prison custody until October 16.
Chief Inspector Sarah Acquah, prosecuting said the police are awaiting the autopsy report to know the cause of death.
