A tragic incident has occurred at Adom Estate, a suburb of Akweley in the Awutu Senya East Municipality of Kasoa, where a 21-year-old man and his 18-year-old girlfriend were burnt to death in a fire outbreak.
The family of the deceased, Kwabena Osei, suspects foul play, raising concerns that the couple’s death may have been the result of arson rather than an accidental fire.
According to the family, the charred remains of Kwabena Osei and his girlfriend, Princess Ahiatey, were discovered on Wednesday morning in their rented apartment.
Initial reports suggested that the fire was caused by an electrical fault, however, the family has expressed doubts, citing suspicious evidence found at the scene.
Among the discoveries was a bottle filled with petrol near the building, as well as a padlock on the outside of the room’s door, which indicated the couple may have been deliberately locked inside.
These findings have led the family to suspect that the fire was intentionally set to murder the victims.
Further suspicions were raised after CCTV footage reportedly captured a mysterious figure approaching the area just before the fire broke out.
Additionally, there are indications that Kwabena Osei may have been involved in internet fraud, and it is believed that his activities might have angered some associates, potentially contributing to the deadly incident.
The police are investigating the case to determine the cause of the fire and whether foul play was indeed involved.
