The Police in Ahanta West District in the Western Region have arrested a farmer for allegedly shooting his biological son to death.[ads2]
The unfortunate incident occurred at Ahuntumanu, a farming community in the Ahanta West district where the farmer with the name Uncle Awortwe shot his 25-year old son after a heated argument.
According to Stephen Ackah, the Assembly member of the area, the deceased has been a pain in the neck of his father who has been complaining bitterly about the bad attitude of his son.[ads3]
He told Takoradi-based Connect FM that, the deceased who lived at Kwesimintsim in the Effia-Kwesimitsim Municipality and visited his father regularly had a misunderstanding with his father during his last visit, leading to the unfortunate incident.
“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.[ads4]
“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 lifeless body of the deceased has been deposited at the mortuary for autopsy while the police has begun an immediate investigation into the case.[ads5]
