A 31-year-old man was claimed to have died in police custody after being detained for allegedly murdering his wife in Lufenya, a neighborhood of Ada in the Greater Accra Region.
Rapper Bee, also known as David Ayornu, is said to have died on June 13, 2022. David Ayornu was arrested by the Ada Police Department for slicing his wife's stomach and killing her instantaneously.
Residents of Lufenya, near Kasseh in the Ada East District, said Ayornu stabbed his wife in the stomach with a knife and dragged her corpse many times, causing her intestine to rupture.
Chief Superintendent Atsu Dzineku, Ada Divisional Commander, confirmed the event and described the suspect's subsequent detention. According to him, the District Police got information on Friday, June 3 from Nene Glover Ayornu, the Chief of Lufenya, and Akrofi Mensah, the Assembly Member for Amlakpo Electoral Area, together with two other people, who complained about a loud noise in an adjacent room at 0130 hours.
"So, the Chief raced there since the commotion was loud and unexpected," he claimed, "when he discovered that one David Ayornu's wife, Theresa Kwao, was laying dead with the intestine gushing out."
According to the Chief, David Ayornu was in the same room with the woman when they discovered she had been stabbed to death and sought police assistance to determine who was responsible.
Police responded quickly to the site, Chief Supt. Dzineku said, and a guy thought to be 31 years old was recognized as a suspect.
"Police were shown the chamber, where a female adult was observed laying in a pool of blood with her face down and her intestine out, wearing just a bead and a trouser."
He added that a first examination of the body revealed living chest and stomach bones, as well as a sharp knife with blood smears, lying in the room about 2 feet from the body.
According to him, photos were taken and the corpse was brought to Health Star Funeral Services in Kasseh for an autopsy and preservation at Addokope.
The suspect Ayornu had been detained and transferred to the Ada District Hospital, where he was examined and discharged, but he remained in police detention for additional investigations, according to the Ada Divisional Commander.
The knife was collected and kept with the suspect for the inquiry, he said, adding that police were investigating the event to determine what caused Theresa Kwao's death.
