Ama Foriwaa, the four month pregnant woman who was stabbed in the abdomen by her husband in Kumasi has been confirmed dead by the Asawase Police. The 23-year-old was being treated at the Intensive Care Unit of the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) where she was rushed after her mother had seen her and the children in a pool of blood around 8 p.m. Wednesday. Kwadwo Yeboah, 27-year-old ex-convict, who committed the heinous crime also stabbed his own two children to death at Sepe Timpom, a suburb of Kumasi in the Ashanti region. Before her death, Foriwaa said her lover Yeboah had first stabbed her around 11 a.m. before stabbing the children in turns. She said she fell on the floor moments after she was stabbed and feigned death. She said Yeboah, with whom she had forged a close relationship for over five years, satisfied that he had achieved his intention, turned his attention to Adwubi, whom she stabbed with the same sharp knife, and seconds later he stabbed Francisca too. Foriwaa said after stabbing the children, the suspect laid them on her as they bled profusely, disregarding the agony they were going through and the plea of the children to be given water to drink. Foriwaa�s mother, Madam Adwoa Manu, who was the first to appear on the scene, said moments after she had entered the room where the atrocity had been carried out around 8 p.m., she felt that she was walking in a thick fluid, saying that since the room was dark, she put on her mobile phone, only to see the children lying on top of their mother.
