A  27 year old Janet Oteng, has been lynched  by some irate youths of Wassa Akropong of the Amenfi East District for stealing a blue jeans  trouser and pairs of G- String panties from a boutique. Janet Oteng was cought sneaking out of the shop with the panties in her under wear and the jeans trousers in a polythene bag. An eyewitness to the theft triggered an alert when she was pursued to explain how she got the said items from the shop.  She was however unable to provide proof of purchase, a situation which caused some neighbors and the shop operators to strip her cloths off and insert hot pepper, ginger and other hot local spices into her vagina and other parts of the her body. Jane as she’s affectionately called, “claimed to be a hair dresser in Kumasi and she travels to Wassa Akropong on market days to trade”, an eyewitness said. The police later intervened and the suspect was arrested. Investigations are currently underway.
