Natasha Bawah, a trader and hairdresser, is alleged to have led her boyfriend Eddie Murphy Sulemana to the Upper East region where she allegedly killed him and hid the body.
The body of Sulemana is yet to be found, according to a report by the Daily Graphic. But Bawah claims Sulemana, a muslim, died at the Tumu Government Hospital while receiving treatment for a fatal accident in the Upper East region, and was buried by the Muslim community.
The Accra regional Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP) Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno, briefing journalists in Accra Thursday, said in September 2014, Sulemana came on holidays and met Natasha.
He said the two became lovers and resided at Sowutuom in Accra.
In the course of the relationship, Mr Yohuno said, Natasha led the victim to Sandema in the Upper East region for a cattle business.
Since that trip, Mr Yohuno said, the family of Sulemana had not set eyes on or heard anything from their relative.
He said when the family tried to contact him by phone, Natasha picked the phone and told the family that Sulemana had been involved in an accident and did not want any family member to visit him.
After sometime, Sulemana’s phone went off and Natasha was nowhere to be found.
The family lodged a complaint with the police and Mr Yohuno said preliminary investigations revealed that Sulemana had not returned to Canada and that his travelling documents were with his friend, known as Mallam Mumuni.
On August 1, 2015, he said Natasha was traced to her hideout at Buokrom in Kumasi and was arrested.
Upon interrogation, she told the police that Sulemana died at the Tumu Government Hospital while receiving treatment from a fatal accident on the Tumu stretch of the road.
Natasha also claimed that Sulemana was buried on January 24, 2015, per Islamic customs at a Muslim cemetery in Tumu.
However, according to Mr Yohuno, when the Tumu Government Hospital and the Muslim community in Tumu were contacted, no records of death involving Sulemana as claimed by Natasha were found.
He said Natasha would be put before court while investigations continued.
