A man in his late 40s is in the grips of the Manso police for shooting his brother dead at Bowohomoden, a community near Mampong in the Mpohor District of the Western Region.
The man, identified as Kofi Essoun, is a popular hunter in the community.
According to Nana Kwame, a resident, Kofi shot an animal on his daily hunting expedition.
He went to the spot to pick up his animal, only for him to see the lifeless body of his brother.
“He came home and informed us that he had killed his brother. He went hunting alone last night without his brother. He saw an animal and shot at it; he went for the animal only for him to see the lifeless body of his brother lying in the same spot.
“He was shocked as to what his brother was doing at the place at that particular time in the night when he did not go hunting with him,” Nana Kwame narrated.
Meanwhile, the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Mpohor, Ignatius Asaah Mensah, confirms the suspect has been arrested after reporting himself at the Manso Police station.
