“The body was then realised for deposit at the Children’s hospital” the source added.

But Evelyn Oduro in an attempt to conceal the crime tried to bury the girl without the consent of the toddler’s biological parents.

“Emmanuella’s parents are no more together. Her father before travelling to Dubai left her in the care of his new girlfriend, Evelyn and they both have been living together at Wiaboman for the past six months,” the source said.

After the toddler’s death, the Dansoman police were alerted of Evelyn’s insistence to get the body released to her.

She was arrested for questioning and arraigned before the Adjabeng Magistrate Court in Accra and remanded in police custody.

She will reappear on February 10.
