A man believed to be in his late 40s has allegedly beheaded his landlord at Yaw Anane, a farming community in the Bia West District of the Western North Region.
Confirming the sad incident to Onua FM‘s Emmanuel Sowah, the assemblyman for Nafana Electoral Area, Augustine Bediako, said the victim and suspect are both farmers but it was the victim, identified as Kwasi Antoh, 60, that owned the farm, and the suspect, Yaw Wotoro, was the farm keeper.
According to the assemblyman, Kwasi Antoh visited his farm and was not happy about the state of the farm.
He said the weeds on the farm were not cleared, no pruning and other farm cultural practices had not been done.
He, therefore, complained bitterly.
The vituperation of the landlord, allegedly, didn’t go down well with the farm keeper, and there were also other concerns that he has been ‘chasing’ his 19-year-old daughter in the village.
Out of frustration, Yaw Wotoro, the suspect, took a cutlass and slashed the neck of his landlord at the back of his house and ran away.
However, residents of the community made a thorough search and investigation and later apprehended him.
The Assemblyman took the opportunity to advise the residents to report to them or the police any incident of such nature.
The suspect is currently in police custody at Akatiso in the Bia West District.
