A family is in shock and sorrow following the unfortunate loss of a 15-year-old student at the Odumase St. Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Primary and Junior High School in the Sunyani West Municipality.
Evelyn Agyenim Boateng, a form two student, was killed by lightning that struck Odumase, the municipal seat, on Saturday, May 13, 2023.Some tenants claim that the tragic incident took place at 16:30 while the deceased was making dinner for the family; the body was afterwards taken to a mortuary for preservation and an autopsy.
When the Ghana News Agency (GNA) paid a visit to the family home, Mr. Kwadwo Owusu Aduomi, the deceased man’s father, described the incident, he was unable to hold back his tears.
“I received a distress call that my daughter is unwell, but when I rushed to the hospital, I saw her body lying prostrate at the mortuary with multiple bruises around the breast area,” he stated.
