A man believed to be in his 40s, Kusi Enock, reportedly killed his wife on a farm at Akyem Adwafo in the Akyemansa district of the Eastern region.
The deceased, Ama Kwakyewaa, also believed to be 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, Osei Amponsah, revealed that the couple had separated for over three months and no longer stayed together.
”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,” he narrated.
He alleged that “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.
“This time around, the suspect monitored the deceased’s movement, sneaked and followed her to the farm and killed her,” he added.
His accounts stressed that the man, after committing the crime, has since fled the community and is nowhere to be found.
The Akyemansa District police command has commenced investigations into the matter, while the deceased’s body has been deposited at the morgue.
