A 40-year-old Burkinabe national, identified as Christopher Kabore, has been arrested in connection with the alleged murder of his wife at Sefwi Kwasikrom, near Bonsu Nkwanta-Nkyesenkokoo in the Juaboso District of the Western North Region.

According to police reports, the incident occurred on Tuesday, December 16, 2025, following ongoing marital tensions.

The suspect is alleged to have attacked his wife, inflicting multiple wounds and later slashing her throat.

Following intelligence-led investigations, Kabore was arrested and is currently in police custody at Juaboso, where he is assisting with ongoing investigations.
