A man is currently on the run after shooting his wife and attacking his mother-in-law with a cutlass in Sankore, in the Ahafo Region. The incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday.
An eyewitness reported that the mother-in-law is in critical condition after the man inflicted cutlass wounds on her. The eyewitness, who narrated the incident, gave the deceased’s name as Gifty.
Gifty had left her husband’s house about two months ago following a misunderstanding. She had been staying with her parents and their three children until her demise.
The eyewitness explained that the angry husband stormed the house with a gun and a machete.
He had an altercation with his wife and attempted to fire the gun, which led to a struggle over the weapon. A first shot was fired into the air, but the second hit Gifty, leading to her death.
After killing his wife, he also attacked his mother-in-law, who had their child at her back. He slashed her forehead and leg.
The suspect is said to have ransacked the house and fled with his father-in-law. The police are currently on the lookout for him.
