A 55-year-old man hacked his
50-year-old wife to death, inflicted matchet wounds on their 7-year-old
grandson and reportedly committed suicide at Takpo in the Kaleo-Nadowli
District of Upper West Region in Ghana.
The lifeless body of Joseph Kundiasu was found in
a bush where the incident happened. The suspect was on the run in the early
hours of Saturday mobecause residents were on a hunt for him.
Joy News correspondent, Rafiq Sallam, reported
that a close member of the family told him he (family member) was greeted with
the sad news around 3 am Saturday, when one his stepmothers came knocking on
his door in tears.
The family member said together with his
stepmother, they went to the house of the now deceased man to find the
gruesomely matcheted body of the woman, Fugluuma Kundiasu lying lifeless on the
floor close to the door….
There were multiple matchet wounds on the head,
neck and back of the woman, as she lay dead in a pool of blood.
The 7-year-old grandson of the couple who was
standing by the lifeless body of his mother also had matchet wounds on his
forehead.
The little boy and his deceased grandmother were
then rushed to the Wa Regional Hospital, on a tricycle. Family members told
Rafiq Sallam the couple had a problem in the past but it was resolved. The
family members are therefore baffled at what might have triggered the
bloodbath.
The body of deceased woman was then deposited at
the Wa Regional Hospital morgue, while the 7-year-old boy is receiving
treatment. Before the man could explain the reasons for his matchet wrath, he
was also found dead; in what residents suspect was suicide.
