In the ensuing argument, his wife picked up the third born, aged 11 months, and left to report his conduct to his elder brother who lived nearby. She left the other two children behind.Lance Corporal Ahianyo said that moments after the woman left, Charles dashed for a machete and attacked the children.When the woman returned with his brother, they found the children in a pool of blood in the room.Both Children were sent to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) where the three-year-old is recuperating.Charles was put before an Ashanti New Town Magistrate Court on Monday charged with murder and causing harm.
