The suspect, Agyarko is reported to have taken that action after having an argument with his wife, a woman living nearby told Accra-based Joy FM.

The victim, Abena Sarfoa, managed to alert her neighbour, Asantewaa about the attack, who subsequently called other nearby residents for help.

She was then sent to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

Police have launched investigations into the incident.
