A 35-year-old mother has beaten her six-year-old daughter to death at Odum in the Ashanti region.

Akosua Nyanta is reported to have beaten her daughter for defecating on herself and being recalcitrant. She has been arrested by the police to assist with investigations.

A local reporter Murphy Agyemang told Starr News the deceased was disrespectful.

“The child was obstinate. Whenever the mother tells her to do anything, she refuses. On Sunday evening, between 5 and 6pm the child defecated on herself and the mother asked her to clean herself and she couldn’t and so the mother started beating her.

“She later run to her grandmother’s house but she was brought back to be beaten again. Unfortunately, early this morning, she passed out,” Agyemang narrated.
