An 80-year-old farmer identified as Kwesi Arhin has been stoned to death on suspicion of having an affair with another man’s girlfriend at Assin Otabilkrom in the Assin South District of the Central Region.
The incident happened on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, around 7 pm, when the suspect had information that his girlfriend, Ekua Ansama, had visited the Kwesi Arhin to spend the night with him.
He then rushed to the house of Kwesi Arhin and hit him with sticks and stones till he passed out and died.
According to an eyewitness who is a neighbour of the deceased, the suspect, Kwabena Badu, threatened to kill him, too, if he tried to intervene, which scared him from rescuing the old man.
Emmanuel Arhin, the grandson of the deceased, explained that he had been advising his grandfather on so many occasions to let go of the woman, Ekua Ansama, since the suspect, Kwabena Badu, has been threatening to kill him several times, but his grandfather wouldn’t listen.
The suspect, Kwabena Badu, has been arrested by the Assin Darmang police command.
The body of the deceased has been deposited in the Abura Dunkwa District Hospital morgue pending further investigations by the police.
