Chief Superintendent of Police Joshua Dogbeda, Tema Regional Crime Officer, who confirmed the incident, said doctors on duty at the Tema General Hospital pronounced the two dead on arrival when they were rushed to the hospital.
He said efforts were being made to apprehend the perpetrators of the crime adding that the real motive behind the killing was yet to be established.
