Man shot and killed a welder at Oyarifa

A 36 year-old man who allegedly shot and killed a welder at Oyarifa, near Adenta on Sunday afternoon has been arrested by the Madina Police
The suspect, Eric Yaw Asantem who operates a car rental service, at one of the hotels in Accra, after shooting the deceased, Yaw Acheampong, aged 25, on the forehead at close range turned himself over to the police.
According to the Madina Divisional Crime Officer, Superintendent Amos Yelisong the incident happened at Oyarifa gravel pit area, where both the suspect lived. He said the suspect and his wife, Mrs Rosemary Abena Asante has been married for the past I2 years, without an issue.
He said that difficulty generated misunderstanding between the couple. The suspect later married a second wife and had two children with her.
The Crime Officer said about three months ago, after a heated argument, the suspect packed all his belongings and left the house to live with the second wife at Madina.
He said on that fateful day, the wife left the house early in the morning for Amasaman to visit a relative and left the keys to the house to a neighbour.
While at Amasaman, the woman called the Acheampong and two other youngmen, who had been running errands for her to collect the keys from the neighbour and clean the house for her.
Supt Yelisong said the suspect in the company of a friend drove to the house in the afternoon to check on his dogs and was annoyed when he found the boys in the house. Therefore, ordered them to leave and they complied.
He asserted that as they were leaving the house,  the suspect realised that the Acheampong had locked the main door to the house and was taking the keys away.The suspect ordered Acheampong so he ordered him to hand over the keys, but he refused with the explantation that the suspect wife had told them to hand over the keys to the neighbour after the work so they would do so.
Supt Yelisong said the suspect, insisted on collecting the key but Acheampong called the suspect wife on phone and told him about what had happened. The wife, Mrs Asare instructed Acheampong not to give the keys to the man because her husband had also got his set of keys to the house.
He said at that stage the suspect became annoyed, entered his car and beckoned the deceased to come closer. As soon as Acheampong got to the window of the car, the suspect, fired and shot him on his foreheads, killing him instantly.
He said the two youngmen took to their heels and raised an alarm, but the suspect sensing danger drove off in his Toyota Highlander vehicle to the Madina police where he lodged a complaint.
The Crime Officer said the suspect would be arraigned before court on Wednesday on a provisional charge of murder.
