Twenty three year old woman Gladys Weija has been murdered in cold blood at Pungu, a suburb of Navrongo in the Kassena Nankana East of the Upper East Region.  Narrating the incident to Radio Ghana, the Regional Public Relations Officer of Police, ASP Thomas Yaw Agbanyo disclosed that the deceased who was pregnant for four month got stabbed in the stomach by two suspects, Emmanuel Kaba, a 42 year old clerk at Lesken enterprise and Gloria Amena .Kudam, a 24 year old house wife married to one McLean Boya.  ASP Agbanyo explained that  the incident occurred as a result of a  misunderstanding  between, Mr. Boya and his wife, Gloria that compelled him to go into another relationship with the deceased who is said to be staying with the suspect, Emmanuel Kaba. According to the police PRO, Kaba who is believed to be uncle of the deceased was not happy about their secret affair.  ASP Agbanyo, further revealed that on the September 2, 2013,   Boya paid a visit to the deceased at her residence. Kaba upon seeing him quickly contacted McLean’s wife to witness their ungodly act of which, Gloria declined on the basis that she was sick. Out of extreme anger and frustration Kaba then proceeded to Glady’s house and picked her on his motor bike to see things for herself. In view of the situation, the suspects laid ambush on the way to catch a glimpse of them. At that moment the deceased was on her way home after a joyous moment with Kaba at a nearby drinking pub. The deceased was therefore attacked by the suspects led by her uncle Kaba. In the process, Kaba stabbed the deceased severally in the stomach and went ahead to gorge her eyes out of what has been described by the police as gruesome.  Gloria who is said to have had a second thought in the face of the dastardly act, tried stopping Kaba, but could not succeed and in the  process, had a cut on her palm. Gloria, then called the husband on phone to narrate the incident to him. The husband upon the information got alarmed and rushed to the scene and realized the deceased had died and was lying in a pool of blood with some intestines gushed out. The suspects were later apprehended and admitted committing the crime.  Meanwhile, ASP Agbanyo said the two would be arraigned before court for charges of murder and conspiracy.
