Ama Kromaa: Akpeteshie Man Has Fatally Shot Dead His Sister-In-Law After She Attempted To Protect Woman At Akyem Akroso In Eastern Region
One Akpeteshie man has fatally shot dead his sister-in-law after she attempted to protect woman at Akyem Akroso in the East Akim Municipality of the Eastern Region in the early hours of Wednesday, May 24, 2017.
According to Daily Guide, Kofi Addo, a brother of the deceased, disclosed that Kojovi, 45, who lives at Suhum but currently on the run, had planned to kill his own wife over a disagreement, but shot Ama Kromaa when she attempted to protect her. He further added that “for some time, the man had marital issues with the wife, and so some of us did not want to interfere. Lately, we observed that he had been warning that very soon he would kill somebody, but we didn’t know that he had targeted his wife.
“On Tuesday, he went to buy some cartridges but again we did not imagine for once that he was going to harm or kill somebody with it because he is a hunter.
“On Wednesday dawn, my sister called me and said the man had pointed a gun at her, threatening to take her life for preventing him from dealing with the wife. So as I was talking on the phone with my sister, I heard a loud gunshot with my sister shouting that the man had killed her”.
“The man’s wife was not hurt in the process. When I rushed to the scene, I realised that she was lying dead in a pool of blood. The man had shot her in the stomach and the intestines had gushed out.
The police have already taken the body away from the scene of the incident and conveyed it to the morgue at the Kyebi Government Hospital pending autopsy.
Meanwhile, the suspect who has already fled the community, has been declared wanted by the police.
