Private legal practitioner Kofi Bekai has observed that the woman who reportedly whipped the corpse of her late son at an accident scene may have acted out of emotions.

He noted that her actions may not be subject to legal action.

However, if in the course of her actions she caused further damage to the deceased's body, including stabbing, she may be subject to legal action.

He was responding to a question regarding whether the mother of the deceased young man had committed an offence after whipping her late son at the accident scene.
