Ben has been identified as the dead.

Rainbowradioonline.com learned that the deceased went to the suspect’s house with a buddy at 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 22, 2023, to pluck some pears.

The suspect allegedly pulled out a revolver and shot the victim through the pear tree he had already climbed, killing him instantly.

He allegedly portrayed them as thieves, which is why he allegedly shot at them.

The other victim, Francis, who escaped, stated that they had just finished an event and were on their way home when they stopped at the suspect’s house to pick some pears.

Meanwhile, the Chief of the area, Nana Kwesi Larbi, has called the occurrence “tragic.”
