A 30-year-old man, Kwabena Brenya has been apprehended by the Kasoa District Police Command at Akweley in Kasoa.

According to Graphiconline.com the arrest came following a brutal assault involving a wall hammer during a domestic dispute among tenants in a shared accommodation.

The disturbing altercation has left one victim, Edmond Ampomah, in critical condition. He is currently receiving treatment at the Mother and Child Hospital in Kasoa, where he is showing signs of neurological damage resulting from the vicious attack.

The incident occurred on the evening of Monday, August 28, 2023, when a dispute arose between Edmond Ampomah's wife and Kwabena Brenya, both of whom were residing as tenants in the same compound.
