According to a report by 3news.com, a farmer in his late 40s has shot and killed his son during an argument. The son, identified as Ankoo, was 25 years old and died on the spot at the Ahuntumanu community.
Assembly member for the area, Stephen Ackah, confirmed the incident and stated that the suspect, known as uncle Awortwe, had confronted his son about his bad behavior, which included stealing valuable items from his house whenever he visited. However, during their last meeting, the son attempted to take his father’s hunting gun and in the ensuing altercation, the father shot him.
According to Ackah, the son had become a burden on his father due to his bad attitude and had been stealing from the house whenever he visited. The father had complained about this behavior on several occasions, but the son had not changed his ways.
The Ahanta West District Police Command has apprehended uncle Awortwe and launched an investigation into the incident. The body of the deceased has been sent to the mortuary for an autopsy.
