A 50-year-old palm wine tipper
called Safo has butchered a 20-year-old lady at Wassa Ayiam in the Western
Region.
The deceased who name was only given
as Fati was a co-tenant of the man who lives with his wife and children.
According to Lord Fm’s reporter,
Kenneth Nuamah, what triggered the fight for the old man to commit such heinous
crime is still unknown.
However, he indicated that the 50
year-old palm win tapper had early on threatened to kill his wife whenever they
quarrel.
"Safo's wife moved from the
house after the threat but Fati became the victim when he returned from town
drunk" he added.
On Sunday when Fati was preparing to
watch her clothes, Safo entered her room and inflicted cutlass wounds on her
back and head leading to her sudden demise.
The man after realising his crime
bolted and has since not returned to the house. Residents chased him but he
managed to escape for fear of being lynched.
The case was reported to the police
and they have since mounted a manhunt for the 50-year-old man.
Also, an elder in the town, Annin
Yeboah Sam in an interview with Adom News said the chief of Wassa Ayiam has
also begun an independent investigation into the matter.
He disclosed that an old woman who
was in the house when the incident occurred has been summoned to the palace.
Annin Yeboah Sam said they will
ensure the man is apprehended and handed over the police for justice to
prevail.
