A suspected sex maniac has allegedly shot and killed two siblings and wounded their mother after raping their elder sister in the bush at Dukoto Junction in the Amenfi East District in the Western Region. The dead have been identified as Maame Adwoa, 13, and her brother, Kwame Ohene, both students. The bodies have been deposited at the Wassa Akropong Government Hospital, while their mother, Maame Akua Ohene, 53, is in critical condition at the same hospital. According to the Prestea-Huni Valley District Police Commander, DSP Ben Wonkyi, the suspect, whose name was given as Atta Panyin, 25, was requested by the traditional authorities to pay GH¢200 and provide other items to pacify the gods after he had been found guilty of raping Madam Ohene’s elder daughter, Affuah, in the bush. Even though Panyin had not paid the fine, he constantly put pressure on Affuah for more sex. According to DSP Wonkyi, Panyin claimed that because Affuah had disgraced him before the elders and the rest of the community, there was the need for her to compensate him with more sex. Unable to stand the constant pressure for sex by the suspect, Affuah is said to have reported the harassment to her mother on Sunday evening. In response, Madam Ohene promised to visit the suspect’s parents and elders to report the behaviour of their son and relative to them. The police said upon hearing that Affuah’s mother would be visiting his parents to report his conduct to them, Panyin went for a shotgun, forced the bedroom of Madam Ohene opened and fired at her. He then attempted to shoot Affuah, who was also in the room, but she managed to escape. Apparently frustrated, Panyin, according to the police, then shot the two siblings of his supposed lover, killing them instantly. While the mother was crying for help, the suspect bolted but he was later arrested by the police.
