A 20-year-old man, Abdullah Mohammed, has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for robbing and killing a 74-year-old stroke patient, Alice Kakari.
The tragic incident occurred near the Ballon Hotel at Awutu Senya East in the Central region. The convict tied the woman with a rope, cut her neck, and ransacked her three-bedroom house, stealing valuable items and an undisclosed amount of money.
The suspect was caught on a CCTV mounted in the victim’s home. The Kasoa Ofaakor Circuit Court is still trying him for the murder, for which he has been remanded.
After the court proceedings, a daughter of the deceased, Gifty Obenewaa Yeboah, expressed sadness about her mother’s death, stating that although she is happy about the sentence, the suspect needs to be punished very well.
