The police have arrested a mother of four, Larteley Mensah for beating her ailing eight-year-old daughter, Tani Sanni to death.
The 38-year-old mother who is currently being prepared for the court was said to have beaten her daughter to death at their Accra home in Ghana because she failed to cover up her vomit with sand as she had been instructed to do.
According to Adomonline, the eight-year-old had been battling a chronic skin disease.
Tani Sanni had been staying with her dad following the separation of her parents, however, due to the deterioration of her chronic skin disease, the father brought her to her mother for proper care.
Mensah reportedly sought the help of two individuals who assisted her to bury the body secretly at midnight at Lavender Hill.
Lavender Hill is an area in Jamestown situated in close proximity to where liquid waste is disposed into the sea and notorious for its stench.
Police have mounted a fierce search for Mensah’s accomplices.
Briefing the media, the Korle Bu District Police Commander, DSP Theophilus Esilfie, said Mensah’s accomplices, identified as Adorkor and Ebenezer Annor, Larteley’s boyfriend, are on the run.
Police say they will ensure that the law takes its proper course.
