In addition to the victim’s two children, the tenant of the man’s father also received machete wounds.
Samuel Amo, a toddler who was just three months away from being two years old, died as a result of the incident.
After suffering life-threatening injuries, the tenant, Mr. Obed Asamoah, and his 19-year-old daughter, Bridget Owusu, who both survived the vicious attack, are fighting for their lives at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
On Friday, May 5, 2023, a violent butchery took place at Adankwame in the Ashanti Region’s Atwima Nwabiagya North District.
After hiding out, the culprit, who could only be known as Emmanuel, was apprehended by the police.
The renter was attacked while holding his now-deceased son at the time of the argument. The landlord’s son had attempted to prevent the tenant from accessing his room by arguing that the rent had expired as of May 1, 2023.
The attacker slaughtered the father and son before turning his blade on the tenant’s daughter, who had raced to save the victim’s father and younger sibling from the devastating machete slashes.
The same hospital was dispatched to treat all three victims, but the young kid was already dead when he arrived.
Janet Owusu, the victims’ mother and wife, told reporters that as the suspect approached his husband and son with the machete, she sprinted outside to call for aid.
She disclosed that the suspect’s mother had previously reported him to the police, but that he had been released on bail just before the event.
