A 50-year-old man, Thomas Kontoh has committed suicide after butchering his wife, Lydia Amponsah at Gbetsile soldier line in the Kpone Katamanso Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.

A niece of the deceased, Michaela Okata who witnessed the incident says, she was in the room when her auntie’s husband now deceased came into the room and suddenly picked a quarrel with the auntie.
“All of a sudden, he pulled out a machete and started hacking my auntie…this was around 1:30 am Tuesday. I started shouting for help but nobody came to her rescue…,” she narrated.
According to her, she had to run for her dear life when no help came.
“I had to run several kilometres as the man was chasing me because I was there when he was butchering the Auntie…,” she said further.
