Brother mutilates senior brother

What started as a mere quarrel between two brothers at the Anaji SSNIT flats, turned bizarre when the junior brother took a cutlass and ruthlessly mutilated his elder brother to the point of death.

A neighbour who confirmed the story to the Ghana News Agency, said over a period now, the two brothers who are staying with their mother, a palm wine seller, usually have petty squabbles every morning.

He said the usual morning quarrel ensued between the two on Tuesday morning, but with time, the voice of the elder brother began deafening, which raised suspicion among the neighbours.

The neighbour said those who thronged into the apartment, saw the brother lying in a pool of blood.

Kwame, the suspect is on the run, while the victim is currently receiving medical attention at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital.

The Kwesimintsim Police are man-hunting for the suspect.
