A 30-year-old man, identified as Kwabine Kwakwa, is alleged to have killed his in-law at Agona Bobikuma following a reported marriage dispute (cheating).
According to information gathered by Nana Ansah, the incident occurred after a misunderstanding linked to ongoing marital tensions between the suspect and his wife, Maa Abena.
Reports indicate that Maa Abena left their marital home three days earlier after a heated disagreement and sought refuge with her family.
