The West Mamprusi Police Command has remanded a 45-year-old man for allegedly killing his mother over his missing GH¢100.
Zakaria Alhassan is said to have shot his 71-year-old mother from the back from the right hip when she tried intervening in an argument he was having with his siblings over the money.
The incident took place at Sooba, a community in the West Mamprusi Municipality of the North East Region.
