A 40-year-old woman, identified only as Auntie Esi, has allegedly hacked her husband to death following a dispute over proceeds from charcoal sales at Ekumfi Asaman in the Ekumfi District of the Central Region.
The deceased, identified as Kweku Blankson, was reportedly attacked while asleep after tensions between the couple escalated.
According to information gathered, the couple were farmers who also produced and sold local charcoal within the community.
Residents said the incident stemmed from an argument on Wednesday after the suspect allegedly accused her husband of withholding a larger share of money realised from the charcoal sales.
Eyewitnesses, in an interview with Kasapa News’ Yaw Boagyan, indicated that the disagreement turned heated, during which the deceased allegedly assaulted his wife before the situation temporarily calmed down.
However, residents say the suspect allegedly attacked the deceased later while he was asleep, inflicting multiple cutlass wounds on him.
The victim reportedly died at the scene before help could arrive.
Police have since been informed and investigations into the incident are ongoing.
