The deceased was found with a deep cut in her throat and her thigh. Per Ghanaweb, Moro's brother told Joy News that the family suspects manslaughter, saying they will resist attempts to bury her immediately in line with Islamic rites.

How and where the deceased was found

''I had a call around 9 pm that my sister had been stabbed, so I thought I was going to see the body with a small cut, but when I got there, it was a different thing.

''She was killed in her room and then dragged into her rival's room, the way she died was not natural, and we need to know how she was murdered,'' said the brother of the deceased, Mohammed Samba.

Family seeks justice

Reports indicate that the family has denied the husband's family access to Moro's body for burial to enable the police to conduct an autopsy test before interment.

Meanwhile, the first wife and the husband are in police custody after their arrest to assist with investigations.
