Inspector Ahmed Twumasi, a police officer accused of murdering his alleged girlfriend, Victoria Dapaah, popularly known as Maa Adwoa, has been sentenced to life imprisonment by the Asokore District Court in the Ashanti Region.
The tragic incident occurred on April 20, 2023, at Adum in Kumasi, where Twumasi shot Victoria multiple times with his service pistol, causing her death from hemorrhagic shock.
Throughout the trial, Twumasi denied having an amorous relationship with the deceased and also refuted claims that the alleged affair had led to marital problems with his wife, Yaa Afriyie. When questioned about reports that his wife left home on April 19, 2023, he insisted, “It is not true.”
After nearly two years of legal proceedings, the court found Twumasi guilty of murder and handed down a life sentence, bringing closure to a case that drew national attention and sparked widespread outrage over violence against women.
