Sowutuom-based upcoming musician Nana Yaw, known by his stage name Wyllbee(@wyllbeemusic), was lynched at Abuakwa-Tanoso in the Ashanti Region while staying overnight at his girlfriend’s residence.
According to reports, the deceased traveled from Accra to Kumasi to spend several days with his girlfriend, who unknown to him, was married to a man abroad and lived with her in-laws.
The family stated that Wyllbee did not inform any family member of his journey. Around 1 am on Friday, 5th July 2024, the deceased allegedly woke up to urinate outside when he was spotted by some occupants of the compound house who confronted him, suspecting him to be a thief.
Reportedly, the deceased explained that he had come to spend time with his girlfriend in the house, but the girl allegedly denied ever knowing him to protect her marriage. This escalated the situation as occupants of the house alerted neighbors that they had caught a thief, leading to the deceased being brutally beãten.
The deceased was taken to a local hospital early in the morning after the family was informed about their son’s situation, but unfortunately, he passed away after being transferred to Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for further medical assistance.
