Their 15-year-old son, the prosecutor said, joined the mother in the scuffle against the father.

The police prosecutor stated that Mavis, subsequently called his brother Kofi Dennis who arrived with two other accomplices from Dawu-Akuapem near Adukrom and subjected the deceased to severe beatings and allegedly struck his head with a pestle.
