20-year-old interior decorator charged over British man’s death after alleged sexual encounter

Pearl Agbomadzi, a 20-year-old interior decorator has reportedly been charged with murder over the death of a 74-year-old British man in Accra, a court has heard.

Ms. Agbomadzi is said to have appeared before the Accra High Court accused of killing John Scott Hughes, a British national who had been living in Ghana.

Prosecutors are said to have told the court that Mr Hughes had invited Ms Agbomadzi to meet him at American House. They say he later took her to Philipo’s Movie House in East Legon, where he booked a room for them.

Details of what happened next were not immediately set out in court, but the prosecution alleges that the encounter led to Mr Hughes’s death.

Ms Agbomadzi has been formally charged with murder.

The case is expected to continue as the court examines the evidence.
