The Wassa East District Police Command have arrested a man who reportedly killed the husband of his ex-wife at Edwinase-Munsunkwa community in the Western Region.
The suspect, Kojo Arthur AKA Capo, committed the crime on Thursday, October 13, 2022, out of jealous. According to reports, he was assisted by a friend whose name was given only as Buabeng.
Reports says the suspect and his accomplice went to the house of his ex-wife and committed the unpardonable crime.
The Assembly member of Edwinase Electoral area, George Arthur confirmed the incident on Connect FM noting that the suspect has three children with the ex-wife, Edufuwa.
“They were married but because of some personal reasons, they divorced. The lady moved on and met another man in the next community, but it seems her ex-husband was still in love with her and decided to fight for her. She has no children with the new husband, but they have been living happily until the sad incident happened.
“They went there with a machete and other weapons. Immediately they got to the house of his ex-wife, they attacked her new husband and slashed his throat. Since there was no one to help, he died out of excessive bleeding. All efforts to transport him to the nearest hospital proved unsuccessful due to the bad nature of our roads,” he expressed baldly.
The body of the deceased, Robert Osei, has since been deposited at the Jukwa Hospital whilst the suspect and his friend have been handed over to police for investigation.
The Assembly Member added that they tried to escape but they were apprehended by some youth who handed them over to the police.
