Double Tragedy Strikes Bekwai Municipality: Wife Stabbed, Farmer Found Dead

The Bekwai Municipality in the Ashanti Region is in shock and mourning following two separate tragic incidents within 24 hours.

On Sunday, August 10, 2025, a domestic dispute turned violent in Edwenase, Abodom, when a 38-year-old woman, Rebecca Appiah, was stabbed in the stomach by her husband.

The husband had accused Rebecca of infidelity, leading to the attack. After stabbing his wife, the husband attempted to take his own life by ingesting poison. Both are currently receiving treatment at the Bekwai Government Hospital, with the husband in critical condition.

In a separate incident on Monday, August 11, 2025, the lifeless body of 38-year-old farmer Adwoa Antwi was found in a bush at Behenase.

Adwoa had left for her farm on August 10 but failed to return home, prompting a search by concerned residents. Her body was discovered with blood and foam oozing from her nose, and the cause of death is yet to be determined. Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding her death.

The back-to-back tragedies have left residents of the Bekwai Municipality reeling in shock. Local leaders and community members are calling for calm and urging cooperation with security agencies as investigations into both incidents continue.

The community is in mourning, and the incidents have highlighted the need for support systems to address domestic violence and ensure community safety.
