Following the killing, the suspect reportedly walked back into the community with blood on his body and openly told residents he had murdered the farmer.

When Nana Osei Bonsu approached him to establish what had occurred, Awineme allegedly turned on the chief without warning and struck him repeatedly with a machete, leaving him with severe injuries.

The chief was quickly transported to St. Patrick Hospital, where medical staff worked to stabilise him. He was unable to recover and succumbed to his wounds ten days after the initial attack.

Three Dead as Investigations Begin

After attacking the chief, the suspect allegedly attempted to turn on another resident. Community youth intervened, and after efforts to restrain the suspect proved unsuccessful, they struck him with sticks.

The suspect later died from the injuries he sustained during that confrontation.

The bodies of Nana Osei Bonsu, Osei Kwabena, and the suspect have all been deposited at the morgue. Police have since launched investigations into the circumstances surrounding all three deaths.
