A twenty-five-year-old farmer, Francis Kwame Awuah, and his twenty-one-year-old girlfriend, Akosua Lydia were allegedly murdered by unknown assailants at Brosankro/Aprakukrom a farming community near Abronye in the Sunyani West Municipality of the Bono Region.
The incident is believed to have happened at midnight on Saturday, November 26, 2022, after the community had gone to sleep.
Confirming the incident to Daily Searchlight’s Reporter, Collins Fosu Appiah, Assembly Member for Abronye Electoral Area, Hon Dognekoh Atta Kwasi Snr. revealed that on Sunday, around 8:30 am he had a call that someone had allegedly been murdered at a cashew farm so he directed his unit committee members to report the case to the police he personally called the police commander and informed him and after a few minutes he had another call that another person was also murdered and this time a man in his room close to the cashew farm.
According to him, when he had the second call he called the police commander again to brief him so he quickly organized himself and joined the police at the scene upon reaching the scene they realized the reports were true.
“I was at a funeral over the weekend at Atronie. I was there yesterday to do the accounts around 8:30 there about in the morning I had a call where it was alleged that someone has been butchered,. At the time they couldn’t disclose whether the deceased was male or female because the decease was lying with face down on a cashew farm. The cashew farmer brought labourers to the farm and discovered the body, so he reported to the unit committee members and the committee members called to inform me.”
“So what I have to do then was to direct them to come to town police station and report officially, after giving them that directive I quickly got in attach with the municipal police commander and briefed him so he asked me to let them come they are around and after the complaint they will go with them. So I think in the next few minutes time another call came through again that they have found another person being butchered, in this case a male in his room. In fact the scene is very horrific, very terrible so I briefed commander again and he asked me to move. They are organizing themselves to get to the place to ascertain things themselves the facts in it.”
“Quickly, I rushed there. When I got there they were ready to move and I joined their team and we all went to the crime scene together,” he said.
“When we got there it was confirmed that a man has been murdered in his room. When you look at the cuts I don’t think it was a cutlass that was used. It could be an axe or something like that they used on the man’s head. In fact it’s very terrible. The lady too the same thing but when you look at where the lady is lying, someone’s cashew farm close to the guy’s house, no one can tell whether the lady was running for her life and they apprehended her later and killed her.”
Mr Dognekoh, revealed that the police has taken over the case and have deposited the bodies at Bono Regional Hospital mortuary in Sunyani for preservation and investigations are ongoing to find who these assailants are and the reasons behind their acts.
