Whelp here we go again, after having a very deadly December in Ghana, where 4 people were murdered, 3 of whom were living in the United States visiting family in Ghana for the holidays.

Three of them won't ever be returning to America. The other was a Ghanaian living in Ghana, their so-called "dity December" was more like death December.

Now as we aren't even 2 weeks into the new year, there has been 2 Ghanaian men arrested in the United States for shooting and killing their lovers. Another man in Ghana killed his wife also.

However 2 other men have committed crimes against children. Here is a breakdown of the incidents.

Central Region: Farmer in Custody Over Wife's Tragic Death in Mfuom

January 10, 2024

In a tragic turn of events, a 45-year-old farmer, widely known as 'Ato Wicked,' has been apprehended by Dunkwa police for fatally shooting his wife, Ama, in Mfuom, Upper Denkyira East District of the Central Region. The victim had suffered multiple stab wounds before succumbing to the gunshot, a horrifying conclusion to ongoing marital discord involving constant conflict and threats of divorce.

The incident, which unfolded on Tuesday, January 9, 2024, at approximately 11:00 AM, left the community and relatives devastated. According to a neighbor who spoke to Kasapa News Yaw Boagyan, efforts were underway to resolve the couple's ongoing disputes for a peaceful coexistence before the tragic murder took place.

Following the murder, the perpetrator allegedly attempted suicide by hanging himself, but alert residents intervened by forcibly breaking into his residence, preventing the attempt. Subsequently, the Police were alerted and swiftly arrived at the scene, discovering the deceased lying in a pool of blood with multiple stab wounds.

The deceased has been transferred to the Dunkwa-on-Offin Government Mortuary, while the husband, now a suspect, is receiving medical treatment at the Dunkwa On-Offin Government Hospital, closely guarded by law enforcement as investigations into the harrowing incident begin.

The Ghana government continues in this multi year debate about an Anti-LGTBQ bill, mind you, they already have outlawed homosexuality in the country. Now they're battling over the clause that would ban and criminalize sex toys in Ghana.

Who cares that 85% of women don't climax from penetration, why would men care? Why would Ghana care, a country that has a long standing history of abuse of women and a rape culture.

All while heterosexual men have been defiling (raping) women and children and murdering their lovers. There is still not one word from the so-called moral religious leaders or government officials. I guess if a homosexual were to commit these act then they would stand up and pay attention.

Frederick Owusu Sakyi – 33-Year-Old Ghanaian Man Arrested in USA After Shooting and Killing Estranged Wife

Frederick Owusu Sakyi accosted estranged wife Tenisha Butler ar her workplace then shot and killed her!

The couple, according to authorities were in the process of getting a divorce and Butler had taken out several protective orders against her ex-husband who was in the habit of stalking her.

Police were called to the Giant Food Grocery store at 3530 Sugarloaf Parkway in Walkerville just after 11 p.m. Saturday for reports of a shooting.

They arrived to find a woman, later identified as Tenisha Butler, dead on the scene. Butler was an employee of Giant Food.

Police reconstructed what happened using security video from the shopping center and ring camera videos from neighbors.

“A lot of witnesses let us know that the suspect had fled in a vehicle,” Todd Wivell, spokesperson for the sheriff’s office, said.

“We had neighbors coming out throughout the night saying, ‘I have a Ring camera. If you need it you can use it.’”

Based on witness information, authorities began tracking the alleged killer, Frederick Owusu Sakyi’s vehicle.

“We were able to track that individual down within three hours. We found them in Columbia, Maryland, and we worked with the Howard County Police Department to pick him up,” Wivell said.

Deputies found a handgun on the front seat and an assault rifle on the back seat of Sakyi’s vehicle.

In a statement, Giant Food said it was “with deep sadness” that they confirm the incident that happened in the parking lot of the Urbana store.

“A little after 11 p.m., after store closing, there was a shooting that resulted in the death of an associate who appears to have been targeted. Our thoughts and prayers are with our associate and their family at this very difficult time,” the statement read in part.

“We are cooperating fully with law enforcement as they conduct their investigation, and the safety and well-being of our customers and associates continue to be our top priorities,” the statement continued.

In another odd case a man aged 53-years-old, is in jail for 24 years for having sex with his daughter. A man in Accra, Ghana pleaded guilty to have sex with his own daughter for 3-years, starting when she was only 11-years old. He made her have sex with him just to receive her basic needs.

The needs that most normal children get from their own parents.

In another incident, 3 children are dead and their uncle is facing murder charges. According to Ghana crime a Twitter X account, the children were exposed to bedbug fumigation. The 3 fell sick from being in a house where their uncle had set off a fumigation bomb, later dying.

However the incident took place in late December of 2023, Anthony Frans, their children's uncle was let go on GHC20,000 bail. So their deaths were part of the the 'death December' in Ghana.

Also in December of 2023 in Ghana, a woman who had just married was poisoned on her wedding day and died just 2 days after being married. The woman who was apparently wedded on the 16th of December 2023, made social media trend after dying from an apparent poisoning.

Another Ghanaian woman who came to Ghana for the holidays, died in a tragic road accident. She's also trending on TikTok as well. This brings the known death toll of Ghanians from abroad to 4 and others in the country to, well who knows how many.

But will this bill against homosexuals bring any attention to the murdered, raped and abused women in Ghana? If they pass this bill will they now worry about their women and children? I doubt it but I really had hoped that the death of women would NOT spill over into 2024.
