Residents of Anum, a suburb of Asamankese, in the Upper West Akim Municipality of the Eastern Region, were over the weekend thrown into a state of shock when a 37-year-old trader, Kwaku Obiri Aboagye, alleged\u00adly shot himself dead.<\/p>\n
The body of the deceased is at the Asamankese Gov\u00adernment Hospital awaiting autopsy while the police are investigating the case to unravel the cause of the tragic death.<\/p>\n
An eyewitness, who simply gave his name as Wisdom, said the deceased lived together with his wife and three children in their own compound house.<\/p>\n
According to him, the deceased went out to have fun with his friends in the same municipality, and was spotted around 6:00 pm at a Total filling station fuelling his vehicle.<\/p>\n
Wisdom said at about 8:30 pm, he heard a sound from the house of Kwaku Obiri Aboagye, but he ignored it only to found out later that Kwaku had shot himself dead and was lying in a pool of blood while the pump action gun allegedly used in committing the heinous crime, was lying beside him.<\/p>\n
The Wife of the deceased, Mame Owusuah said, “My late husband returned from town around 7:15 pm and I went to serve him supper. After a few minutes, he called our elderly son to sit beside him while he was eating. When he finished eating, he gave some documents to our son to send to a friend.”<\/p>\n
According to the widow, after the son had left, she heard a gunshot in their bedroom and rushed there to see what was amiss; and to her surprise, she found the husband in a pool of blood. She said she raised an alarm, and the other tenants came to the scene.<\/p>\n
The case was later reported to the police and some personnel went to the scene around 8:30 pm to take the body to the hospital.<\/p>\n
DSP Samson Anane Appiah, the Asamankese Municipal Police Commander, confirmed the incident, adding that the pump action gun was with the police while his outfit had started investigating the matter.<\/p>\n
