A Ghanaian woman, aged 31, whose charity organization assists persons who suffer from sickle cell in Ghana and Togo has been tragically stabbed to death in the UK.
Reports say Johanita Kossiwa Dogbey met her untimely death on Stockwell Park Walk in Brixton in the afternoon of Monday, May 1, in south London in the United Kingdom (UK).
Metropolitan Police confirmed the killing of the young founder of the Odette Foundation.
According to a report by the BBC, she was talking to her grandmother on the phone while on the way home after buying a birthday present for her mother. Then, unexpectedly, a man identified as Mohamed Nur approached from behind and attacked her a few metres away from home.
Paramedics arrived on the scene of the incident and treated her but pronounced her dead.
The suspect was arrested and taken to court. He was been charged with murder and other offences connected to alleged stabbing attacks.
“Mr Nur, 33, is also accused of another count of possession of an offensive weapon and causing grievous bodily harm to three people, last Saturday,” the BBC reports.
Croydon Magistrates’ Court remanded Nur in custody on Friday and he is expected to appear at the Old Bailey next week.
