On Mother’s Day, a disturbing incident occurred in Obosomase-Akuapem in the Eastern Region of Ghana, where a 21-year-old Jamaican man, Tafari Abednego Thompson, allegedly murdered his 59-year-old biological mother, Madam Mwassa Tafari. Thompson, who is believed to be mentally unstable, fled into the nearby bush immediately after committing the heinous crime.
The locals soon discovered the lifeless body of Madam Tafari and quickly organized a search party, knowing that Thompson was the only person living with the deceased. The youth, led by David Yeboah, combed the surrounding bush and eventually found Thompson at the boundary between Obosomase and Dodowa. Shockingly, the young man had used a metal object to inflict multiple wounds on his mother, disfiguring her face in the process.
According to Tunyejah Tafari Thompson, the elder brother of the suspect, his brother had been displaying unusual behavior for the past year, causing significant troubles within the family.
Madam Mwassa Tafari’s body has been taken into custody by the authorities and deposited at the Police Hospital mortuary. The police have launched an investigation into the incident.
