Father Allegedly Shoots Son Dead

A farmer has been apprehended by the Ahanta West Police Command for shooting his biological son dead at Ahuntumanu in the Western Region.

The suspect, in his late 40s, by the name Uncle Awortwe, allegedly went out of control and shot his 25-year-old son after an argument, killing him instantly.

Narrating the incident, Stephen Ackah, a resident said the victim, who lived at Kwesimintsim in the Effia-Kwesimitsim Municipality had visited his father when the altercation occurred.

“The information I have gathered is that the son who is now deceased has become a burden to his father due to his bad attitude. He lives in Kwesimintsim and whenever he visits his father, he steals almost everything in the house and sells them.

“His father has been complaining on several occasions but he is not changing his bad attitude. So it is alleged that he came to visit his father and exhibited a similar attitude, this time, he wanted to take his hunting gun away. His father got frustrated and shot him,” he indicated in an interview with Connect FM monitored by The Ghana Report.

He added that members of the community heard gunshots and rushed to the scene but it was too late.

“They heard gunshots and rushed to their house but they only found the lifeless body of Ankoo in a pool of blood. He was already dead,” he added.

The body of the deceased has been deposited at the mortuary for autopsy and preservation.

Meanwhile, the Ahanta West District Police Command has since commenced an investigation into the circumstances that led to the shooting.
