And so when I heard about it I confronted her.” Belinda said that she then demanded the GH¢10 she gave Georgina two weeks ago, and so the suspect invited her over for the money last Saturday in her house.“A fight ensued when the mother of the suspect tried to find out the cause of our quarrel,” she added. She noted that on Tuesday October 26, 2010, as she went to see a friend off together with the junior sister, the suspected laid ambush, pounced on and stabbed them with a knife.“I was carrying my junior sister’s child so the child fell from my back and before I realized it, my sister was lying on the floor in a pool of blood, dead. I had multiple knife wounds on my head, hand and back,” Belinda added.
