Man, 62, Kills Wife, 45

The Abetifi police in the Eastern Region have arrested a 62-year-old man for fatally shooting his wife, aged 45 years.

The suspect, Kwaku Agyapong, was arrested and brought to the police station with the double-barreled firearm he allegedly used to shoot his wife, Akosua Gyafoh.

The case was reported to the police by a certain Kwame Kwakye of Nkwantanan village who assisted the law enforcement agents to arrest the suspect.

The alleged shooting was said to have taken place in the village of Nkwatanan on Monday.

The suspect admitted committing the offence, which he went to explain was done out of anger.

According to him, his wife was fond of sneaking out of her matrimonial home and so he suspected infidelity.

The suspect has five children with the deceased – the oldest being 27 years old.  The body of the deceased has been deposited at the Atibie Government Hospital for autopsy.
