Hunter mistakenly kills colleague
A hunting expedition by a group of young men at
Dansereso near Breku in the Asante-Akim South
District ended tragically when one of them
mistook, Obeng Agyei, a colleague for a game and
shot him in the process.

Obeng Agyei died later from the gunshot wounds.

The suspect, Enoch Tetteh, who appeared before a
circuit court at Juaso, presided over by Mr
Justice S.K. Sarpong-Appiah, on a provisional
charge of murder, has been remanded in prison
custody.

Tetteh, whose plea was not taken, would re-appear
at court on Friday, May 5.

The docket on the case had been forwarded to the
Attorney General's Department for advice.

Police Detective Inspector Emmanuel Ofori told the
court that both the suspect and the deceased were
farmers at Dansereso.

According to the prosecution, on April 2 at about
0100 hours, the two together with six others in a
group went for hunting near the Breku Forest.

Insp. Ofori said during the expedition, Tetteh
shot at Agyei, who died while he was been sent to
the hospital.

The suspect was arrested after a report was made
to the Police at Kantanso.
