The man who bolted after killing his wife at Ewusiejo in the Ahanta West District in the Western Region has been arrested.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Jerry Essoh, 35, escaped after allegedly shooting his wife to death because she had asked him to legalise their \u2018marriage\u2019 of 15 years by going to pay her bride price.<\/p>\n

The suspect\u2019s father, Raymond Essoh, and his uncle, Edward Sam, who owns the gun used to carry out the dastardly act, have also been arrested to assist in investigations.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Daily Graphic, the Agona Nkwanta District Police Commander, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mr Samuel Osei, said members of the community went on a man-hunt for the principal suspect soon after news broke about the heinous murder.<\/p>\n

He said the suspect was arrested in the bush later in the evening and handed over to the police.<\/p>\n

Mr Osei commended the chiefs and people of Ewusiejo for their support.<\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

Essoh last Monday reportedly shot and killed his wife for asking him to perform the marriage rites to legalise their 15-year-old marriage.<\/p>\n

The marriage, which produced eight children, had the deceased, Janet Yankeh, as the sole breadwinner of the family.<\/p>\n

Currently, the eight children are in the custody of their grandmother.<\/p>\n

Janet, had asked him to perform the marriage rites or she would leave the matrimonial home.<\/p>\n
