\"poison2\"<\/a>The Volta Regional Police Command says it suspects poisoning as being the cause of the death of the family of seven in a village called Wudukpo in the region.<\/p>\n

An entire seven-member family of Fulani herdsmen was found dead in their home on Monday together with their household animals.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Eyewitness News<\/strong> on Tuesday, the regional commander, ACP Peter King mentioned that during investigations, they found a \u201cliquid in a rubber container in the room that looked oily so we have taken a sample for testing.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, poisoning is the \u201conly assumption we can make until anything is proven otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n

ACP King dismissed claims that the deaths could have been a result of a misunderstanding between indigenes of the village and the Fulani herdsmen saying, \u201cwe don\u2019t have any reason to suspect that now.\u201d<\/p>\n

He however disclosed that the head of the family \u201cwent to court and won a judgment against a certain man so we are looking towards that angle to see anything can come out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Their bodies have since been conveyed to Accra for autopsy.<\/p>\n
