Month total and evidence note
August index: 1 fatal person; 1 non-fatal event. Brodi sources disagree on an exact day, age and the husband’s later death; these disputes do not change Abena Donkor’s August classification. The Mim record is a reported coercion allegation under GES inquiry, not a verified completed sexual assault. See both on-site case records for the exact sources and qualification.
