Man, 32, shoots father-in-law dead during hunting expedition

A 32-year-old hunter, George Nkyi, has reportedly shot and killed his father-in-law, Opanin Kwadwo Bramah after they went hunting for game at New Edubiase in the Adansi South district in the Ashanti Region.

A police situational report said George accidentally killed his 60-year-old father-in-law, Opanin Kwadwo Bramah, who had gone into the bush to harvest mushrooms.

Not knowing about the presence of Opanyin Bramah in the bush, Nkyi reportedly shot sporadically in search of game, killing his father-in-law in the process.

Upon realizing the mistake, police say, he reported the situation to some family members and handed himself over to the police.

The assembly member for Sikaman electoral area, Matthew Baah, confirmed the unfortunate incident to the media and the police immediately visited the scene to commence investigations.

The New Edubiase police have retrieved the body of Opanin Kwadwo Bramah and deposited it at the district’s government hospital.

Meanwhile, George has been arrested and detained to assist in investigations.
