A 15-year-old student was struck to death by lightning during a heavy downpour in the Sunyani West municipality on May 13.
The deceased, Evelyn Agyenim Boateng, is reported to have been struck by lightning at about 4:30 p.m. while she was preparing a meal for her family, Asaaseradio.com reports.

The father of the deceased, Kwadwo Owusu Aduomi, could not control his tears as he narrated the story.
“I received a distress call that my daughter was unwell, but when I rushed to the hospital, I saw her body lying prostrate at the mortuary with multiple bruises around the breast area,” Aduomi said.
