A man who reportedly shot and killed his wife on Monday(31 October) has also died, according to local authorities.

One of the surviving victims is reported to have said that they kicked against the decision as they fear it could take a toll on their livelihoods.
“The man had two wives and have been leaving in their own home here in Tepa. They reported him to a local Zongo Chief of his decision to sell a cocoa farm. Feeling infuriated, a misunderstanding ensued. He hurriedly pulled out a gun and shot his wife”, narrated Frederick Nyamekye Assembly Member for the Bonsuaso electoral area at Tepa-Danyame in the Ahafo Ano North District.
The suspect who was rescued during an attack by an angry mob has also died.
“He was confirmed dead this [Tuesday] morning while receiving treatment at the hospital. The mob attempted to lynch him”, Nyamekye said adding: “For now his body has been sent to the morgue”.
The suspect until his death was a polling station Chairman for the ruling New Patriotic Party at Tepa Danyame. He was also a cocoa purchasing clerk.
