A 15-year-old student of Odumase Saints Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Primary and JHS in the Sunyani West municipality has been struck to death by lightning leaving the family in a state of shock.
The deceased, Evelyn Agyenim Boateng – a JHS two student – was struck to death in a downpour by lightning in Odumase on Saturday 13 May.
Tenants say the sad incident occurred around 4.30pm when the deceased was preparing a meal for her family. The body has been deposited at a mortuary for preservation and autopsy, eyewitnesses said.
On a visit to the deceased’s family house, her father, Kwadwo Owusu Aduomi, could not control his tears as he narrated the story to the Ghana News Agency.

The police are also investigating the case.
