The tragic incident which resulted in deaths of 21-year-old Kwabena Osei and his 18-year-old girlfriend, Princess Ahiatey, in a fire at Adom Estate in Kasoa have raised concerns about suspected foul play. 



The couple perished on October 2, 2024, and while initial reports suggested an electrical fault as the cause, their family is urging authorities to conduct a more thorough investigation amid suspicions of arson.



Backstory



Kwabena Osei was reportedly involved in internet fraud, allegedly working with a group that had recently amassed a significant sum of GHS 190,000. Tensions escalated when Kwabena refused to share the money with his associates, despite repeated requests. 



In a horrific escalation of the conflict, his friends reportedly took drastic measures by poured petrol on Kwabena&#8217;s house and set it on fire, resulting in the death of Kwabena and Princess, who was present at the scene.



On the night of the fire, family members discovered a petrol-filled bottle near the scene and noted that a padlock secured the entrance from the outside, heightening suspicions that the fire was deliberately set. 



Additionally, CCTV footage allegedly captured a mysterious figure in the vicinity shortly before the blaze erupted.



Mark Mortey, a relative of Kwabena, recounted the moment he learned of the incident. 



“I had a call around 3:00 a.m. but couldn’t answer in time. When I finally got through, I was told that my grandson had been burnt with his girlfriend,” he said. “As they narrated the incident, it appeared as though someone had poured petrol and set them on fire.”



The family of Princess Ahiatey believe that fears are that Kwabena’s involvement in internet fraud may have led to conflicts with his friends, which they suspect could be linked to the fire. 



Reports alleges that Princess also participated in the fraud, pretending to be a foreign woman during phone calls to help Kwabena Osei and his friends.



As police investigations continue, the family is calling for a comprehensive inquiry to uncover the truth behind the heartbreaking incident. “We want justice for Kwabena and Princess. They deserve to have their story told,” Mortey emphasized.
