A Mother identified as Mary Momo, age 39 has been arrested, investigated and charged with criminal attempt to commit murder in Po-river Greenville, City, Sinoe County.
The incident occurred on the 17th of March 2020 in Greenville, Sinoe County.
According to the report gathered, Defendant Momo allegedly hanged her seven year old daughter Esther Amtomidi with a rope in her room, saying the child is the cause of her downfall.
A housemate of the Defendant, Mary Momo identified as Mama Nynnoh was said to have heard the victim continuously crying in her mother’s room. She then began knocking on the door to know what was unfolding.
But when Defendant Momo opened the door, it was observed that the rope mark was observed on the victim’s neck. So immediately, the women and children protection department of the Liberia national police was contacted.
Explaining her side of the story, the seven year old victim whose father is a Ghanaian national and resides in down town told police investigators at the women and children protection section which she told that the child was giving her hard time and that she was responsible for her down fall.
Upon revealing such information to her, the child said she told her mother that she wanted to go to her father, something that annoyed her mother and decided to kill her by hanging her to death.
It has not yet been established whether or not her father has not been supporting the child or had abandoned her mother..
Defendant Mary Momo has meanwhile been forwarded to court and is awaiting trial. By By Garmah Never Lomo, garmahlomo@gmail.com
