Horror struck at Kra-Dente in the Kete-Krachi District last Saturday, when a 58-year old man butchered his former wife to death and in turn committed suicide.

Salifu Moshie was said to have trailed his former wife, Yawa Tampuni, when she was returning from a funeral at Grubi, and murdered her on the way back to Kra-Dente.

The Krachi District Police Commander, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Godwin Geraldo disclosing this to The Mirror, at Krachi, said on that fateful day, Tampuni left Grubi in the morning to attend a funeral at Kra-Dente.

On her way back, Moshie followed her on a bicycle and somewhere along the route used a cutlass to inflict cuts on her body with deep wounds in her abdomen.

After the dastardly act, Moshie stabbed himself in the abdomen with his intestines gushing out to end his life.
