Two women, Madam Lucy Peter, who was pregnant and had a head injury and Madam Adisa Ayaab, whose throat was slit during the latest Bawku crises last Saturday died at the Bolgatanga Regional Hospital on Monday. The two were among nine persons, who suffered various degrees of injury at Duabula, near Sabongeri, in Bawku where some people attacked and killed nine persons in retaliation to an earlier lynching of Mr Abagre Zakaria, alias Amingo, a 55-year-old man, who had gone searching for his missing horse. Speaking to the press in Bolgatanga, Superintendent of Police, Mr Victor Agbetornyo, Upper East Regional Crime Officer, said the death toll since Saturday, had risen to 12 while seven injured persons, two adults and five children were responding to treatment at the Bolgatanga Hospital. According to the Crime Officer six people were arrested after the body of Mr Zakaria was found and security personnel at Bawku were screening them. He explained that Mr Zakaria had, in the company of two other men gone to search for his missing horse and in the process got kidnapped and stoned to death, while his two companions escaped and went back home and mobilized a group of young men, who then went back to Duabula and killed nine people while nine others got injured. He said most of them were women and children, two of whom died on Monday morning at the Bolgatanga Hospital. He said the Police were investigating the two incidents. Meanwhile, sporadic gunshots near the Bawku market area on Monday afternoon did not harm anybody and the perpetrators absconded before security personnel got there, he said. Source: GNA
