The shocking incident, which occurred around midnight, has thrown residents of the community into fear and disbelief.

An eyewitness, Ibrahim Gyamfi, told DAILY GUIDE that the deceased was at home around 8:00 p.m., where he reportedly had a misunderstanding with his wife that escalated into a fight.
