A suspected murder-suicide has been reported at Tosen, near Adum-Boso in the Asuogyaman District of the Eastern Region, where a man allegedly shot his wife before taking his own life.
The incident occurred on Saturday, leaving residents of the community stunned as police work to determine what led to the deaths.
An eyewitness, an Okada rider named Emmanuel, recounted hearing two gunshots while passing through the area. He initially thought the sounds were connected to a ceremony being held in the community.
However, the situation took a disturbing turn moments later when two children reportedly rushed out of a house screaming for help, claiming that their father had shot their mother.
Emmanuel said he immediately went to the police station to alert officers about the incident.
The reason behind the alleged shooting has not yet been established, while residents remain bewildered by the tragic development.
Police officers later arrived at the scene and transported the bodies to the mortuary for preservation and autopsy.
Investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident.
