A mason has been arrested for slashing his rival after the latter visited his ex-wife at Ekumfi Abontsi in the Central Region.
According to reports, the victim, Samuel Hegan, went to his ex-wife’s house at Ekumfi Abontsi to give money to his son, whom he had with his ex-wife.
The woman had called the victim to inform him that their son was sick and needed money to take him to the hospital.
The suspect was said to have warned the victim not to step foot in his house, or else he’ll kill him.
However, Samuel went because the ex-wife had told him her husband was not home.
Unfortunately, when the victim arrived, the suspect, who couldn’t control his anger, hurriedly went to his room and picked a cutlass and butchered his rival.
He inflicted several machete wounds on the victim’s head, shoulder and other parts of his body.
After the attack, the suspect took to his heels, but the residents chased him and dragged him to the police.
The suspect is currently in police custody, assisting in the investigation.
The victim is also receiving treatment at the Ekumfi Esuohyia District Hospital.
