Suspected armed robbers have gunned down a watchman guarding the office of A2 Enterprise, an aluminium products dealership venture at Santase-Kokoben in Kumasi.
Bosompem Andoh, 49, was found dead, with stab wounds and his body dragged inside the shop.
“But when the police came to the scene, they saw that my security man had been killed. They [the thieves] had also taken our safe and generator,” Stephen Okyi, the manager of the shop is reported to have said.
Okyi also said the late watchman, who was also a washing bay attendant, had his hands tied behind him when he was found.
It has also been reported that this shop was not the only one targeted by the armed robbers.
A private vending company for the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) in the area is also said to have been burgled GH¢8,000.
The police have begun investigations into the matter, even as the body of the deceased has been conveyed to the mortuary to aid in the process.
This latest incident adds up to the number of bizarre murders and shooting incidences in the Ashanti region.
