The Police have mounted a search for William Kwame Huletey a 30 year old Togolese plumber, suspected of murdering his girl friend, Paulina Soga, 25, also a Togolese.
Paulina, a trader was last Monday found with multiple cutlass wounds near a hotel at Abelemkpe, a suburb of Accra.
She died at the 37 Military Hospital where neighbours had sent her.
A police notice in Accra on Monday said Huletey and Paulina lived together for about two years at Musuko near Ashongman although they were not married.
About a month ago, while Huletey was away from home, Paulina left with her belongings to stay with her elder sister, Beatrice Soga at Darkuman Junction.
Police said Huletey made several fruitless attempts to persuade Paulina to return.
On January 4, Huletey together with a friend went to Beatrice’s house to forcibly take Paulina back to his house but was prevented by the husband of Beatrice.
The following day, Huletey together with Paulina approached her father to perform the marriage rites but he turned them away.
The notice said, on the day of the murder Paulina left her sister’s house for her Aunt’s at Abelemkpe to collect cowhide (wele) to sell at the Kasoa market as she normally did but never returned.
