A 20-year old man, Kojo Buadu alias Kru, has shot dead his senior brother at Portor near Kintampo in the Brong-Ahafo Region for allegedly failing to marry for him.

Kojo is said to have spotted a girl in the village and sworn to marry her at all cost.

He therefore approached his elder brother, Saaka Buadu alias "40" for the initial approach but he delayed.

Saaka was shot with a single-barrelled gun and died instantly. The murderer is now on the run.
