In a deeply unsettling development from Kumasi, a 45-year-old man, Albert Cobbina, has been remanded into police custody by the Asante Akropong District Court in the Atwima Nwabiagya North District. Cobbina is suspected of being involved in the tragic death of his wife, Grace Asantewaa, under circumstances that have raised significant concerns.
The case, which has captured public attention, was presented before the court presided over by Mr. Emmanuel Wiafe Adu. However, the plea of the suspect was not taken during this initial appearance. Cobbina has been ordered to reappear before the court on September 15, 2025, as investigations into the matter continue.
The Incident
According to Police Chief Inspector David Kwabi, the couple resided in Fankyenebra near Santasi within the Kumasi metropolis. On August 24, 2025, Cobbina reportedly informed the Suntreso Police that his wife had been discovered lifeless in their home, lying in a pool of blood with a kitchen knife positioned nearby.
Cobbina claimed that upon finding his wife in this critical condition, he rushed her to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for emergency treatment. Tragically, she was pronounced dead upon admission.
Inconsistencies in Statements
While Cobbina initially presented his account to authorities, prosecutors have revealed inconsistencies in his statements during subsequent investigations. These discrepancies raised suspicions of foul play and led to his detention. Following preliminary inquiries into the matter, Cobbina was charged in connection with his wife’s death and brought before the court.
Legal Proceedings and Ongoing Investigations
As the case unfolds, investigators are working diligently to uncover the facts surrounding Grace Asantewaa’s untimely death. The decision to remand Cobbina into custody underscores the seriousness of the allegations and the need for thorough scrutiny of evidence.
This tragic incident has sent shockwaves through the local community and beyond, prompting discussions about domestic violence and its devastating consequences. The court proceedings on September 15, 2025, will likely provide further clarity on the matter.
Conclusion
The death of Grace Asantewaa is a somber reminder of the fragility of human life and the importance of justice in addressing such heartbreaking situations. As investigations continue, it is hoped that the truth surrounding this case will emerge, offering closure to those affected and ensuring accountability where necessary.
The public and authorities alike will be closely watching this case as it progresses through the judicial system. Updates will be provided as new information becomes available.
