After killing his partner over an apparent sexual argument, a 55-year-old fetish priest allegedly committed suicide.
Residents in the community are in terror as a result of the unfortunate incident that happened in Ejisu-juaben in the Ashanti Region, according to a report by the DailyGuide Newspaper that was seen by 1Family Radio.
The fetish priest, whose name has been provided as Akwasi Antwi, allegedly shot his lover, Ama Atta, at close range at around 9:30 on Saturday night while using a single-barrel long rifle.
An eyewitness claimed that although the fetish priest and Ama Atta had been involved romantically for some time, their relationship had recently degenerated.
According to the eyewitness account, Antwi had complained about Ama Atta’s reluctance to have intimacy with him, suspecting her of infidelity.
Around 9:30 p.m. on the fatal day, Antwi, the fetish priest, allegedly went to Ama’s house with a single-barrel long rifle.
The two got into an altercation after the fetish priest entered the home. Antwi was warned by Ama not to enter her home with a gun ever again.
Antwi briefly departed the scene as the debate appeared to become heated, only to return a short while later to accuse Ama of infidelity.
Antwi struck Ama Atta in the ribs before fleeing the scene.
The gunshot attracted onlookers’ attention, and they made an effort to take away his weapon.
The fetish priest retreated into a nearby thicket when he realized he was in danger, where he allegedly killed himself. His body was then sent to a morgue.
However, Ama Atta, his girlfriend, was wounded but survived and is now being treated in a hospital.
