A 35-year-old labourer has been arrested and detained by the Ghana Police Service for hacking his landlord to death over allegations of sleeping with his daughter.
The incident happened on Tuesday in a village called YAW ANANE” near Sefwi Akaatiso in the Bia West District of the Western North Region.
According to the source, the culprit whose name is unknown suspected his landlord identified as Agya Anto of having an affair with his daughter.
He reportedly confronted his landlord to warn him against sleeping with his daughter adding that there would be repercussions if he failed to listen to him.
The landlord reportedly took exception to the warning and engaged in an altercation with the tenant.
Other tenants and neighbours moved in to separate the two.
The aggrieved tenant was however not satisfied with the matter and waited for when Agya Anto was going to take his bath in the communal bathroom and attacked him with a cutlass.
He reportedly cut off his landlord’s head in the vicious attack before he was restrained and handed over to the police.
The Akaatiso police also came to pick up the lifeless body of Agya Anto and have launched an investigation into the matter.
