The Nyinahin Magistrate Court presided over by Mr Sam Nigi, has remanded into prison custody a mother and her daughter for the death of a 17-year old girl at Ntobroso in the Atwima-Mponua District.
The pleas of Akosua Addai, 40, and Ama Dapaah, 22, were not taken and were asked to re-appear on January 28.
Police Inspector Daniel Atabil told the court that the deceased, Margaret Osei died six days after she had been beaten up by the two.
The deceased had made a complaint of assault against the two at the Adiembra Police Station on December 28, last year and was issued with a police medical form to attend the Nhyinahin Government Hospital, where she was treated and discharged.
Inspector Otabil said on January 2, her health condition suddenly worsened and was rushed to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) but she was pronounced dead on arrival.
The body had since been deposited at the mortuary of the facility for autopsy.
