The suspect, Kofi Essoun is reported to be a known hunter in the community and was on his normal hunting expedition when he shot his brother accidentally.
Nana Kwame, a resident told Connect FM that the hunter had fired a shot at what he thought was an animal. However, when he approached the scene to pick it up, he realized he had killed his own brother.
“He came home and informed us that he has killed his brother. He went hunting alone last night without his brother. He saw an animal and shot it, he was going for the animal only for him to see the lifeless body of his brother lying at the same spot. He was shocked as to what his brother was doing at the place at that particular time in the night when he did not go hunting with him,” 3news.com quotes the resident as saying.
