The Lance Corporal is reported to have booked an AK 47 rifle for guard duties on Monday (July 25) only for him to go home and commit such an act.

The Public Relations Officer ASP Juliana Obeng, who confirmed this to Pulse.com.gh, said “yes, I can confirm the murder involving a lance corporal with the RDF unit in Tema who shot and killed himself and three others. As we speak, investigations have commenced into the incident, and we would come out with full details.”

Even though ASP Obeng refused to comment any further, information reaching pulse.com.gh indicates that the police is called Lance Corporal William Amuzu, and he was with the Rapid Deployment Force in Tema.

He is also seen wearing his official uniform and helmet. The mother in-law of Amuzu lies dead by a bowl she was using to bathe her grandchild.
