A 47-year-old Burkinabe, Boigouna Aloys, has been sentenced to life imprisonment by the High Court in Accra after being found guilty of killing his German wife and their daughter at Kokrobite in Accra.

He was convicted after a seven-member jury returned a unanimous guilty verdict against him on two counts of murder following a full trial.

The convict was said to have used a hammer to hit the head of his late wife, 53-year-old Claudia Weizmann. Fearing that their 14-year-old daughter would report the incident to the police, he then strangled her to death.

The prosecution, led by Yvonne Yaachie-Adomako, an Assistant State Attorney, called five witnesses to prove their case.

When asked by the presiding judge, Justice Mary Maame Ekue Yanzuh, if he had anything to say before his sentencing, Aloys responded that he had nothing to say.

According to police, Boigouna Aloys, who was 43 at the time of the incident, buried the two bodies at the far end of their 10-plot property in Kokrobite to avoid suspicion.

Neighbors noticed the sudden disappearance of the German woman and her daughter, as well as a foul odor similar to that of a decomposing animal coming from the property.

They reported the matter to the police, which led to Aloys’ arrest.

Police investigations revealed that the stench was from human remains, leading them to suspect the Burkinabe of allegedly killing his wife and daughter.

The police said, “The suspect has since confessed to the crime, adding that he used a hammer to strike his wife in the head after a misunderstanding, killing her instantly. Fearing that his daughter would report the matter to the police, he strangled the 14-year-old girl to death before burying them on their compound.”

Boigouna Aloys had married his wife in Germany, and the couple decided to relocate to Ghana. Reports indicate that the family arrived in the country in January 2020 and had been living in a three-bedroom apartment situated on a 10-plot property in Kokrobite.
