But reliable sources confirm that some marital dispute existed.

“The man came to me a few days ago to report a marital issue he wished I address between him and the wife who was our church member,” Pastor Eric Addo revealed.

“But the woman travelled, so I was waiting for her to return so that I call both parties for us to resolve the issue amicably. It is very sad we have lost the woman. I am deeply shocked.”

The body of the deceased has been deposited at the St Joseph Hospital morgue for autopsy and further investigation.
