Police at Assin Aworoso in the Assin South District of the Central Region have arrested a middle-aged man, for allegedly setting 3-bedroom house being occupied by his girlfriend on fire on Thursday night.
Eyewitnesses say Kofi Bokor decided to end the life of Akua Sakina after the latter informed him of her decision to end the relationship and travel out of the community for greener pastures though they have a daughter together.
In his attempt to stop his lover from traveling, Kofi Bokor allegedly sneaked into the house at night and set the room in which Sakina and her siblings slept on fire; he however took his own daughter to safety before carrying out his plan.
No lives were lost in the inferno but the 3-bedroom house got razed down.
A relative of Akua Sakina told the Media that, this is the second attempt on her life by the suspect as he had earlier poisoned her food.
The two lovers, according to the relative are related by blood and that all efforts by the family to get Kofi Bokor to back-off from Sakina have landed on rocks.
