Abigail Cheetham and Son Arrested Following Alleged Murder of Husband in Nsawam-Adoagyiri

The Ghana Police Service has apprehended 34-year-old Abigail Cheetham and her son, Prince Cheetham, in connection with the brutal murder of her husband, Nicholas Cheetham, at Nsawam-Adoagyiri. The incident, which occurred on March 7, 2026, has sent shockwaves through the local community as details emerge regarding a tragic domestic dispute that escalated into fatal violence. Nicholas, 36, was reportedly targeted following a heated disagreement within the household, leading to a coordinated attack by his wife and son that claimed his life and left another family member severely injured.

Preliminary investigations by the police suggest that the motive behind the killing was a deep-seated conflict regarding an extramarital child fathered by Nicholas. In a disturbing sequence of events, reports indicate that Abigail and Prince allegedly conspired to carry out the act. Evidence suggests that Abigail may have used seduction as a tactical maneuver to incapacitate Nicholas, rendering him vulnerable to the subsequent assault. This level of alleged premeditation highlights a calculated effort to settle a domestic grievance through extreme violence, leaving the authorities to piece together the full timeline of the conspiracy.

The violence extended beyond the primary target, as Nicholas's 15-year-old son, Richmond, was also attacked during the confrontation. Despite sustaining serious injuries, Richmond managed to escape the scene and seek urgent help, effectively alerting neighbors and the police to the tragedy. He is currently receiving medical treatment and is expected to be a key witness in the ongoing case. Meanwhile, the two suspects remain in police custody as the investigation continues. The body of Nicholas Cheetham has been deposited at a morgue for an autopsy to determine the precise cause of death, while the police prepare to present the case before the courts.
