The police are on a manhunt for a 22-year-old Okada rider, who allegedly poisoned to death his girlfriend at Koransang in the Suhum Municipality of the Eastern Region.

The Okada rider whose name has only been given as Akooko, was the boyfriend of 17 year-old Matilda Dankwa, who recently completed Junior High School (JHS).

Confirming the incident to journalists, the Assembly Member for the area, Ransford Norvor, said Dankwa became pregnant for the Okada rider, and she refused to terminate the pregnancy when the suspect requested her to do so.

The Assembly Member said the suspect carried the girl friend on his motorcycle and a few minutes later, she was found dead with foam oozing out of her mouth.

The police took the body of Dankwa to the Suhum Gov­ernment Hospital morgue, and begun investigations to arrest Akooko, who was on the run.

The police said they suspected foul play and appealed to the public to any information that may lead to the arrest of the suspect. – GNA
