The spouse of a National Democratic Congress (NDC) branch youth organiser in the Asante Mampong Constituency has been apprehended by police on suspicion of fatally stabbing him.
The victim, identified as Osei Akoto, a teacher in his 40s, died from his injuries upon arrival at the hospital after allegedly being stabbed by his partner during a heated dispute.
The incident, which unfolded in the Kofi Sarpong suburb of Asante Mampong where the couple resided, has left residents in shock and disbelief.
According to neighbours, the deceased and his wife identified only as Abigail, were known to engage in frequent quarrels, with a particularly heated altercation occurring on the night of the incident, ultimately leading to the fatal stabbing.
Abigail is currently in police custody to assist in ongoing investigation.
