Landlord's son butchers tenant's child in Adankwame, Ashanti Region

A landlord’s son reportedly murdered a toddler following a disagreement with the child’s father, who is also a tenant at their home.

The culprit, who has only been known as Emmanuel, also injured the deceased’s father and sister, who are presently fighting for their lives at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.

On Friday, May 5, 2023, an event occurred at Adankwame, within the Atwima Nwabiagya North District of the Ashanti Region.

According to eyewitnesses, the toddler’s father, named as Obed Asamoah, had arrived from work when his now-deceased son, identified as Samuel Amo, raced to greet him.

The father then brought him to his room, but he was met by the landlord’s son, who was carrying a machete.

During the fight, the defendant, Emmanuel, allegedly began inflicting machete wounds on the kid and the father.

According to eyewitnesses, the suspect then struck the toddler’s sister, who had come to the scene to check on her father and young brother, who were both laying hopelessly on the ground.

The three were transported to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, but the youngster, Samuel Amo, was confirmed dead on arrival.

Janet Owusuwaa, the deceased’s mother, stated that the suspect fled after the event but has since been apprehended and is in police custody.

Janet Owusuwaa, who is still in shock, reported that her husband and daughter are in severe condition at the hospital.

“My husband left for work in the morning and returned home in the evening between 4 pm and 5 pm. My son ran to hug his father to welcome him. It was around that time that our landlord’s son who was wielding a machete confronted my husband. He butchered my son and my husband. He also attacked my daughter who attempted to save my son. We then had to run away. All three persons have been sent to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital. The toddler who is one year and four months old has however died”.
