A landlord has reportedly killed his tenant for refusing to vacate his house.
According to reports, the suspect Daniel Mantey killed his tenant, Eric Tettey following the latter’s refusal to pay rent.

Narrating the incident to Adom news correspondent Isaac K Normanyo, Evelyn Dansowaa, the wife of the deceased said the landlord forcibly went into their room and removed their belongings.
