A man believed to be 32 years of age, Papa Kwesi has butchered his wife who is also in her 30’s, Abena at Assin Gyinawoboodie in the Assin South District of the Central Region.
After committing the heinous crime, Paa Kwesi attempted to commit suicide by cutting his neck but the timely intervention of some residents prevented the man’s suicide attempt.
Paa Kwesi and his late wife were farmers who were contracted to work on a farm in the area.
Speaking with Kaakyire Ofori Ayim on the AM Drive, a local reporter , Aduanaba Kofi Essien said those who were at the scene after the incident could not tell what transpired between the couple before the unfortunate drama .
According to him, they received a call that someone had butchered his wife and they called the Police and rushed to the scene.
Upon reaching the place, a woman who lives closer to the couple said she was at home when two children of the victim rushed to her in tears with blood on their hands.
She narrated that she followed up to the house and saw the victim dead in a pool of blood while the man was also cutting his neck with a machete.
The neighbour of the couple said she quickly rushed outside to call people and when they got there, they managed to save the man.
She continued that the machete was taken from the man and then they called the media and the police to the scene.
Upon arrival, the police took the suspect to the hospital for treatment since his suicide attempt failed.
Although the couple who had been in the area for about six months had serious arguments a number of times, the Neighbour said she did not know the issues because they mostly spoke Dagaati.
