Time finally caught up with the 33-year-old woman who is believed to have poisoned her five children at Nyanyano in the Central Region, when the police yesterday found her in an abandoned car in Accra.
Clutching a note book in which she had diligently scripted all her frustrations, Georgina Akweley Pipson also provided an awful lot of clues to what she perceived as the demons tormenting her life.
In what looked like a collection of poems, Georgina wrote in her note book: �I was born in December 1977.�
�I am alone in this world, God why, God why,� �I don�t have a mother or father, who am I,� �Georgina with three boys and two girls.�
In her self-confined solitude when the police found her in the abandoned vehicle at a fitting shop near the Accra College of Education at Madina, Georgina was semi-conscious when she was sent to the Police Hospital for medical treatment at about 9a.m.
She wore a skirt and blouse, had a small lady�s purse and a pocket diary, in which she had chronicled the things that summed up her emotions and happenings in her mind.
�My people deserted me,� �God give me hope,� �forgive me and my children, Nana, Kwaku, Angel, Kofi, Esi.� �What a painful world. God have mercy on me and my children�, �Why, Kojo my husband,� �Kojo, I do love you and will never forget you.� Also in the purse was a piece of paper supposed to be a prescription given to her to purchase some drugs at a pharmacy at Adzirigonno near a school.
DSP Ebenezer Boryor, the Madina District Crime Officer, told the Daily Graphic at the Police Hospital that the police were informed that there was a lady lying in an abandoned vehicle at a fitting shop at the Accra College of Education.
He said the police, who suspected she might be the lady in question, called for the publication in yesterday�s edition of the Daily Graphic and found the picture to be that of the suspect. He said the woman � who looked helpless, dull, and could not talk � was conveyed to the hospital.
The Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) in charge of Outpatients Department (OPD) at the hospital, Dr Harold Agbenu, said the suspect was brought to the hospital weak and was examined. He said although she was in a stable condition, her blood pressure was a bit high, adding that �she just refused to talk�.
He said the hospital had a report that the suspect had a history of mental ailment and when the police hospital had done its bit, she would be referred to the psychiatric hospital for further examination.
