A 58-year-old farmer, identified as Kudjo Dakudzi, has allegedly been murdered at Somanya in the Eastern region over land litigation.
The incident is said to have occurred in front of his two children with whom he was working on his farm on Wednesday.
Mr Dakudzi’s assailants reportedly hit him with sticks multiple times in his rib before butchering him right in front of his children.
A 32-year-old Martey Joshua, son of the deceased, narrating the incident to Accra-based radio station, Starr FM, said he was also in his farm when he received a call about the incident.
