A landlady at Agona Nyakrom has died following an alleged assault by her tenant’s grandson, sparked by a dispute over sanitation.
The incident began when the landlady, Madam Charlotte, confronted a tenant for defecating into a polythene bag directly in front of the landlady’s room.
When questioned, the tenant claimed she had a stomach upset and could not reach the public toilet in time.
However, a heated argument ensued after Madam Charlotte questioned why the tenant chose to leave the waste at her doorstep rather than her own.
The reporter further noted that the absence of toilet facilities within the houses compelled tenants to rely on public toilets.
While the initial disagreement appeared to have settled, the tenant later accused Madam Charlotte of gossiping about the incident to others.
In response, the tenant summoned her grandson, Paa Kwesi.
Upon his arrival, Paa Kwesi allegedly attacked Madam Charlotte, reportedly using a belt to assault her.
Shortly after the altercation, Madam Charlotte’s health declined rapidly.
She was first rushed to the Nyakrom Health Centre due to complications from high blood pressure.
She was subsequently referred to a government hospital, where she was tragically declared dead on arrival.
