A 25-year-old trader reportedly confessed to having thrown his five-year-old son into an abandoned well in Ogone, a suburb of Somanya, in the east of the country, resulting in his death.
The woman, identified only as Rita, is under the influence of the police who participate in the investigations.
According to Joy News correspondent Kofi Siaw, the deceased, whose name was Joseph, was allegedly missing for three days with an official complaint to the police.
His mother, who sells mangos in the community, announced the disappearance of his son on a local radio station.
She took the community by surprise, however, when she confessed to family members that she was aware of the whereabouts of the boy, the journalist added.
Rita then led the family members to the scene of the crime where Joseph's body was found floating in the well.
The confused inhabitants of Ogone as well as the surrounding communities gathered at the scene of the crime after hearing the news.
It is unclear what could have compelled the suspect to throw his own son into a well, but some residents who spoke anonymously attributed it to economic hardship. They claimed that the father of the child had abandoned him, as well as the mother.
The boy's body was taken to the Atua Public Hospital for autopsy while investigations Carry on.
