A tragic incident has left the Bekawopa community in shock after two chainsaw operators were suddenly killed by another tree near Abrafo in the Twifo-Hemang-Lower-Denkyira District of the Central Region.
The deceased, Yaw Asare, known as Tompuu in his 50s and Eric Tetteh in his 30s, were reportedly cutting down a tree when the unexpected occurred.
According to eyewitness accounts, the incident occurred when a firm tree nearby abruptly came crashing down on them while they were cutting down a tree.
Residents described the incident as mysterious, with some suggesting possible spiritual influences due to the unexplained collapse of the tree.
The unusual nature of the tragedy prompted traditional leaders to perform customary rites at the scene before the bodies were allowed to be moved.
Police officers from the Jukwa District Command later transported the remains to the mortuary for preservation.
Investigations are currently underway to uncover the circumstances behind the fatal event.
