The police have arrested a jealous man for killing the husband of his ex-wife at Edwinase-Munsunkwa, a community in the Wassa East District of the Western Region.
The suspect, Kojo Arthur, AKA Capo, is said to have committed the crime with his friend, Buabeng.
The Assembly member of Edwinase Electoral Area, George Arthur, who confirmed the incident, indicated 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 seemed 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,” he narrated.
According to him, in the late hours of Thursday, October 13, the suspect went to the house of his ex-wife with his friend to attack the deceased, Robert Osei.
”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 from excessive bleeding. All efforts to transport him to the nearest hospital proved unsuccessful due to the bad nature of our roads,” he told Connect FM.
