30-year old man kills mother-in-law

A young man was at dawn on Thursday June 30, 2016, lynched by youth of Agona Nsaba in the Central Region for the murder of two people including his mother-in-law.

Narrating the incident to Accra News Thursday, Chief Inspector Benjamin Muni of the Agona Nsaba Divisional Police Command, said one Charles Kpoh, about 30 years old, left his house before sunrise, at about 4:45am, for the residence of Adwoa Nsowaa, his wife’s mother, armed with a machete.

Upon reaching her house, Charles, according to the police officer, inflicted deep machete wounds on Nsowaa, killing her instantly.

Chief Inspector Muni said the Nsaba Police got a call that a man had killed a woman in a part of the town and as police mobilised officers to move to the scene, another call came in that a second person had been hacked to death by Kpoh.

According to him, another call came in that the suspect had been arrested and was being brought to the police station but had died following instant justice meted out to him by the angry youth of Nsaba.

He further stated that police continued to the scenes of the two murders where they found the body of one Albert Mensah, lying in the street with deep cuts on the face and head. Police continued to the residence of Nsowaa, where they collected her body and deposited all three corpses at the Swedru Government Hospital.

Chief Inspector Muni said the Nsaba Police were yet to meet the family over the “painful” incident.
