JSS two pupil shot and killed by uncle
at Kruboa near Tepa
Tepa (Ash), March 24, GNA – Zuweratu Awal, 16, a form two
pupil at Tepa JSS ‘B” was last Tuesday shot and killed by
her uncle, Alidu Issah, 28 with a locally-made single-barrel
gun at Kruboa near Tepa in the Ahafo-Ano North district in
Ashanti.
The body has been deposited at the Tepa district hospital
morgue for autopsy whilst the suspect, a farmer, is in
police custody assisting in their investigation.
According to the District Police Commander, ASP Nicholas
Opare Ofosuhene, the deceased who stayed with the mother and
the suspect in the same house, took offence when the mother,
Tariatu Awal, 39, reprimanded her for not sleeping in the
house for the past three days.
ASP Ofosuhene said when the mother asked the deceased to
sweep the compound of the house she refused with the pretext
that she was going to toilet.
He said some few minutes after the deceased had left for
toilet, Issah opened his door and headed towards the toilet
but later returned to the house and took his gun.
The Police Commander said some few minutes later, there was
a gunshot and when people rushed to the scene, they saw the
body of the deceased lying in a pool of blood with Issah
standing by.
When he was questioned, he confessed killing the deceased,
explaining that he spotted a cheetah at the spot and shot it
but when he went to collect it, it turned to be the body of
the deceased.
