A female teacher
is reported dead after allegedly being
assaulted by relatives of a pupil she had
punished for wrong doing at Asuafu, near
Nsuta in the Ashanti region.
The deceased, identified as Charity Nyarko,
22, was a Kindergarten teacher at the St.
Joseph Anglican Preparatory School at Nsuta
in the Sekyere Central District. Sources at
the education office confirmed the incident
but are unable to give details.
According to Nhyira FM's Ohemeng Tawiah,
the deceased, who taught at the
Kindergarten department of the school, had
disciplined a pupil who suffered injury as a
result. The family assaulted her last Friday
after the incident.
Ohemeng Tawiah said the deceased on
Monday together with the headmistress, went
to apologise to the family of the pupil but a
a furious family member picked up a chair to
hit Charity and in her attempt to flee from
the scene, she fell into a gutter and died
later while being sent to the Mampong
Hospital.
Two persons have been arrested by the police
for their alleged involvement in the crime,
Ohemeng reported.
