Hunter Killed By His Colleague

A 47-year-old hunter has been killed in the Aferewa forest reserve in the Bodi District of the Western North Region, where he had gone hunting with his colleague.

Adjei Christopher allegedly shot and killed his friend Yaw Emmanuel in the bush.

Information gathered indicates that the two friends had initially gone hunting for antelopes and grass cutters, but after several unsuccessful attempts, they finally settled on monkeys.

While Christopher was armed with a gun, the victim, Emmanuel, was wielding a cutlass as they aimed at tree branches for monkeys.

However, Emmanuel allegedly fired a shot that struck the victim in the waist, killing him on the spot.

The suspect quickly reported himself to the police at Bodi, and subsequently, the body was retrieved from the forest.

The body has been deposited at the Juaboso Government Hospital for further investigation by the police.

The suspect has been detained to assist with investigations.
