TRAGEDY HAS struck Tosen, a community near Adum and Boso in the Asuogyaman District of the Eastern Region, after a man allegedly shot his wife before turning the gun on himself in a shocking incident that has left residents in deep sorrow.
The horrifying incident, which occurred on Saturday, has thrown the community into mourning, with the circumstances surrounding the alleged shooting remaining a mystery.
An Okada rider identified as Emmanuel, who witnessed events shortly after the shooting, said he heard two gunshots while riding past the area.
He disclosed to DAILY GUIDE that, he initially thought the sounds came from a ceremony being held in the town and, therefore, did not pay much attention to them.
However, moments later, two children reportedly emerged from the house screaming for help, alleging that their father had shot their mother.
Emmanuel said the children’s desperate cries prompted him to rush to the police station to report the incident.
The motive behind the alleged shooting remains unknown, as residents struggle to comprehend what could have triggered the tragic development.
Police officers subsequently visited the scene and conveyed the bodies to the mortuary for preservation and autopsy.
Investigations have since commenced to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
