A 44-year-old man, Kusi Enock, has allegedly murdered his wife, Ama Kwakyewaa, during a quarrel on their farm at Akyem Adwafo, a community in the Akyemansa District of the Eastern Region.
The fatal altercation occurred during an early morning visit to the farm, where Kusi Enock is said to have struck his 47-year-old wife on the chest and head with a stick.
According to information gathered by Adom News’ Kwasi Azor, the couple had been separated for three months due to ongoing domestic issues.
The suspect had reportedly threatened to commit a murder-suicide in the past and had previously attempted one unsuccessfully.
The couple’s houseboy, Osei Amponsah, who later confirmed the tragic news to the media, suspects that Kusi might have been trailing the victim.
He added that he lodged a complaint with local committee members and the police upon receiving news of the incident.
The body has since been deposited at the Adwafo Government Hospital morgue.
Police have launched investigations into the incident as the community grapples with the shocking act of violence.
