A 40-year-old woman has been killed at Awutu Beraku in the Awutu Senya West District of the Central Region.

The nursing mother, Afia Koowah, reportedly left home on Sunday, May 25, 2025, to fetch firewood in a part of the community but failed to return.

Her husband, Kofi Opare, became alarmed and began searching for her.

Afia was found dead early on Monday, May 26, after a bystander heard the cries of her four-month-old baby and approached the scene.
