A tragic incident has been reported at Gomoa Buduburam in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region, where a 23-year-old woman, identified as Theresa Darkoah, allegedly died after being poisoned by her boyfriend following a disagreement over GH¢100.
The suspect, known as Kofi Emma and popularly referred to as Blackee, is believed to have committed the act after an argument ensued between the two over money.
Reports indicate that Kofi Emma had been providing financial support to Theresa in a bid to win her affection.
However, tensions reportedly arose when he began to feel exploited by the deceased.
According to sources, the dispute began when Theresa requested GH¢100 from Kofi Emma to repair a faulty fan.
