An explosion of fury and anger coupled with jealousy resulted in two bloody incidents in the Western Region, when two men who suspected their wives of infidelity decided to take the law into their hands in fatal revenge. At Anokrom, a town near Enchi, a man butchered his wife out of jealousy and courageously reported himself to the police, while at Damanikrom, near Debiso, a man, who could not stand the sight of his wife in a sexual act with another man, shot the man seven times killing him instantly. The wife managed to escape, but the man, who is now at large, pursued her and shot her in the arm and abdomen. She is said to be in critical condition at the Holy Family Hospital at Berekum. The first suspect, Kwashie Ashiegbe, 48, killed his wife, Christine Nakpe, 36, at Anokrom. The second suspect was named as Abubakari Amadu, 26, who killed his rival, Kojo Ankramah, 25, at Pamanikrom. Amadu, however, bolted with the gun after the incident, while Ashiegbe has been placed in custody pending further investigations. According to the police, the two men had accused their spouses of cheating on them. At Debiso, the police said Amadu, who lived in the same town with his victim and wife, suspected the woman of infidelity and was said to have vowed to kill anybody who went near her. They said at about 1:30 a.m. last Saturday, the suspect traced the wife to Kojo Ankramah's room, and allegedly caught them in the act. Amadu, who had armed himself with a single-barrelled shotgun, opened fire at Kojo and shot him seven times. Her wife was later rescued by members of the community, who rushed her to the hospital. The focus to save the life of the woman took the attention of the rescuers and Amadu managed to escape with the gun. At Anokrom, Ashiegbe also suspected the wife of sleeping with other men and warned her to desist from it. The wife, who was said to have no such intention, went about her usual duties and continued to relate to all. This did not go down well with Ashiegbe, who, out of anger, did the unthinkable. The bodies of the two have been deposited at the Enchi and Berekum government hospitals pending autopsy. Source: Daily Graphic/Ghana
