Residents of Assin Anwiasu in the Central Region’s Assin North District are in shock and astonishment after an unknown assailant induced cutlass wounds on a 39-year-old man.
Kwabena Ebo, the victim, is actually fighting for his life at St. Francis Xavier Hospital in Assin Fosu.
Witnesses say they heard the victim yelling for help in his room around 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, December 20, 2022, when he had returned home from work and was getting ready for bed.
They arrived on the scene to find the victim in a pool of blood, his wrist and some of his fingers amputated, and deep cuts on his head, cheek, neck, and back.
He was then rushed to Assin Fosu’s St. Francis Xavier Hospital for emergency surgery.
The victim is said to have been married with three children.
Although the perpetrator is yet to be known, the residents suspect one Fiifi, a jealous man who has consistently engaged the victim in a heated argument over ownership of the victim’s last-born child.
According to the reports, the suspect claimed that sexual intercourse he had with the victim’s wife during their love affair resulted in the birth of the said child.
The chief of the Assin Anwiasu, Nana Yaw Kwanning Ababio who confirmed this revealed that he and his elders have sat to resolve that particular issue before.
He said they advised him to report the death threat to the police to take action but he refused, therefore they are surprised about the fallouts.
Meanwhile, a team of police officers in Assin Nyankomase upon hearing the incident swiftly visited the crime and visited the victim at the hospital to commence an investigation into the matter.
