  "account": "Three individuals, comprising the spouse of celebrated herbalist Dr Felix Antwi Dankwa, have been apprehended in relation to a suspected arson case at their Kasoa residence, which resulted in the herbalist's demise. The 67-year-old herbalist, serving as the CEO of Antwi Herbal, perished when a fire ravaged his home and clinic on Monday, August 10, 2026. Both his wife and two workers present at the residence managed to flee unharmed. Although the family has not yet formally commented on the incident, sources close to Dr Antwi Dankwa suggest that marital discord between the couple, with the wife residing abroad, may have played a role. The couple had previously reported to the Kasoa District Police Command on Monday regarding allegations that the wife had altered the ownership records of certain assets belonging to the herbalist. Sources indicate an argument ensued between the couple at the police station, leading to the police advising them and requiring their presence in court on Tuesday, August 11. Following the fire, police arrived at the scene and arrested Dr Antwi Dankwa's wife and two other workers residing at the property to aid in their investigation. Speculation has arisen that Dr Antwi Dankwa might have been murdered prior to the building being set on fire to impede the uncovering of an alleged crime. However, the details surrounding his death have not been officially confirmed. Ongoing police investigations seek to ascertain the origin of the fire and the circumstances surrounding Dr Antwi Dankwa's death. Dr Antwi Dankwa had recently been honored by the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) for his contributions and collaborative efforts in advancing herbal medicine.",
