Husband Kills Wife At Akyem Adwafo

A 44-year-old man whose name has been identified as Kusi Enock has killed his wife on a farm at Akyem Adwafo in the Akyemansa district of the Eastern region.

The deceased, Ama Kwakyewaa, 47 years old, met her untimely death after she visited a nearby farm to work on the farm land.

Narrating the unfortunate incident, an eyewitness and a close relative of the deceased woman, Osei Amponsah, revealed that the couple had separated for over three months and no longer stayed together.

Osei said, ”Moment after Ama informed me that she was visiting her farm, I heard a distress call from her eldest child, Yaa Baby, that Kusi used a piece of wood to hit his estranged wife’s head multiple times. I, together with three others, rushed to the farm.”

“When we got there, the Kusi, the suspect, had run away, and the deceased was lying in a pool of blood and had sustained severe injuries on her face, so we managed to take her to Adwafo clinic for some first aid medications, but she died at the clinic upon our arrival.”

“This is not the first time Kusi attempted to kill Ama, he threatened to kill her on several occasions. One midnight, the man stormed his estranged wife’s house to beat and kill her, but Ama’s neighbors foiled the attack,” Osei Amponsah revealed.

Osei added, “This time around, the suspect monitored the deceased’s movement, sneaked and followed her to the farm and killed her.”

He indicated that the man has since fled the community and is nowhere to be found.

The incident has since been reported to the Akyemansa district police command for further investigations.
