A 48-year-old businessman named Francis Arthur has been arrested in Kumasi, located in the Ashanti Region, on suspicion of killing his girlfriend in an incident characterised by investigators as domestic violence. The suspect is charged with killing his girlfriend, Sally Benson, a beautician, with whom he had been in a relationship for more than 10 years.
This incident occurred at Ayigya-Maxima in Kumasi after a disagreement. The event took place on April 14, 2026. The deceased reportedly went to the suspect’s home with a female friend after learning that another woman had been there.
The suspect was not present at home when they arrived. While they were waiting, Arthur is said to have gone home and encountered the deceased. Arthur is said to have assaulted her multiple times during the subsequent confrontation.
It is reported that she collapsed, and Arthur then took her in her own car to KNUST Hospital, where she was declared dead upon arrival. Arthur appeared in court for the first time before Judge Hilda Esther Wryter at the Asokore Mampong District Court on Tuesday and was ordered to remain in custody until his next hearing on May 8, 2026.
The body of the deceased has been placed in the mortuary at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for preservation and an autopsy. Her father, Apostle Gabriel Oppong, stated that he is very sad and is seeking justice for his daughter. Sure! Please provide the text you would like me to paraphrase.
