A brother of Arhin, Mr. Bismark Kwaku Asiedu, who lives in the same house, said he [Arhin] had bought a new generating set last Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Reports indicate that Arhin and Sandra sat on the compound of the house chatting until about 12 midnight when they decided to go to bed.<\/p>\n
Arhin reportedly told his brother he will need to power his standing fan because the room was too warm ,” and that he would switch off the generating set after a while.”<\/p>\n
Mr. Asiedu said his brother told him that he will not use the generating set overnight, adding “but I am sure he slept off and forget to witch it off.”<\/p>\n
