The NDC Member of Parliament for North Tongu constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has condemned recent reports of violence against women.
Two women have recently been killed after they were reportedly brutalised by their partners.
Lilian Dedjoe, was allegedly assaulted by her husband, Prince Charles Dedjoe resulting in her death following an argument between them.
Yesutor Elizabeth Akpalu, a Level 300 student of the Evangelical Presbyterian University College was allegedly assaulted by her boyfriend, Kumah Philip Ceasar, resulting in her death.
Reacting to this on his social media platform, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa prayed that, "May the perpetrators never find peace and when they are finally found out, may their earthly punishment serve as sufficient deterrence".

Horrifying and heart-wrenching times not just for our daughters, sisters and wives; we must all be outraged that physical and emotional violence against women continues to this day.
There can be absolutely no justification to lift a hand against a spouse. Real men use their strength to protect their partners not harm them.
We must strongly encourage ladies to boldly resist and report domestic violence without the slightest delay. Better to leave and live than to stay and succumb.
Our deep sympathies and prayers are with all bereaved families including the many victims who escape the lenses of the media.
May the perpetrators never find peace and when they are finally found out, may their earthly punishment serve as sufficient deterrence.
