A 40-year-old woman identified as Mmaa has been arrested by the Bole District Police Command in the Savannah Region for allegedly murdering her husband after a domestic dispute.
The deceased, a farmer, is reported to have had nine children with the suspect. Their youngest child is said to be about four years old.
According to a report by adomonline.com on Tuesday, July 14, 2026, one of the couple’s children told investigators that the parents had an argument during the night, but she did not think it was serious and went to sleep.
The report stated that the child later woke up after allegedly hearing her mother threaten to kill her father before attacking him while he was asleep.
“She said she later woke up after hearing her mother allegedly threaten to kill her father before striking him on the head while he was asleep,” the report said.

The victim was taken to the Bole District Government Hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead.
His body has since been released to the family for burial.
The suspect remains in police custody at the Bole Police Station as investigations continue.
