A Sierra Leonean woman, Mariama Bah, 32, was tragically murdered by her husband, Hassana Jalloh, 55, in Columbus, Ohio, United States.
Jalloh is now facing aggravated murder charges for the crime.
The incident occurred on Thursday morning at the couple’s home. According to reports, Jalloh allegedly used a knife and a hammer to kill Mariama Bah before calling 911.
Columbus police responded to the domestic violence call just before 9:20 a.m. Upon arrival, they found Bah unconscious, suffering from blunt force injuries. She was pronounced dead at the scene by medics at 9:37 a.m.
