“My daughter only told me she was travelling with the promise of returning with good news only for her to arrive here in a coffin,” those were the opening words of Grace Andoh at her daughter’s final funeral ceremony.
Grace Andoh happens to be the mother of the aspiring nurse Georgina Asor Botchwey, who was abducted, murdered, and covertly buried by a preacher and a chief in Mankessim in the Central Region.
In an interview on Friday morning during the burial ceremony of murdered Georgina at Yeji.
She stated that she had nothing to say since she could only wait for God to step in after gathering the confidence to utter those first few words.
"Asor, rest in peace," she added.
"You were my everything, my darling daughter. You helped me with everything in the house until you told me you were going and would return but today I am receiving your lifeless body in a coffin. I am very sad and cannot even say anything again. Why have you left me," she asked as though Asor could reply her.
"I live the killers unto God because He is the only one who can speak for me," she wept uncontrollably.
