The suspect, a husband and father, is currently on the run.
According to eyewitnesses, the incident occurred early in the morning of December 12, 2024, when the suspect allegedly killed his wife and daughter. The motive behind the killings is still unknown.
The suspect, who is believed to be a migrant from Togo, fled the scene and has not been found.
Locals report that the suspect had been expressing his desire to return to Togo, but his wife had refused to let him take their children.
In a bizarre twist, a 56-year-old hunter named Opanyin Kwesi Ewudzie, who was returning from his night job, stumbled upon the scene and attempted to defend the suspect’s other child. Furiously, the suspect attacked the hunter, leaving him severely injured.
The hunter was later rushed to a nearby hospital, where he remains unconscious and in critical condition. As of 9:00pm, the hunter is still receiving treatment at the Agona Swedru Municipal Hospital and has not regained consciousness.
The police are currently searching for the suspect and have urged anyone with information about his whereabouts to come forward.
This shocking incident has left the community in a state of shock and grief. As the investigation continues, residents are calling for justice and an end to violence.
Making reference to the killing of the Okada rider who was beheaded on December 1, 2024, the communities need a proper security system.
