A young man who allegedly killed his 32-year-old wife, Ama Baduwaa, has reportedly committed suicide by hanging at Awugyekrom near Adansi Fumso in the Ashanti region of Ghana on Monday morning.
According to Adom Online, Ibrahim Abu, an uncle of the 35-year-old farmer, Emmanuel Awugye, who disclosed the incident, said the body of Emmanuel was found hanging on a tree in a different location.
He said Emmanuel inflicted wounds on his wife for failing to prepare his favourite meal, fufu.
It was gathered that the man was infuriated when he arrived home to find his wife sleeping instead of preparing the meal.
The issue, which did not go down well with the man, caused him to subject his wife to severe beating, inflicting cutlass wounds on her till she fell down dead.
Sources say the man also accused his wife of infidelity. The couple left behind four children.
The Adansi Fomena District Police commander, Yaw Asubonteg, confirming the matter said the bodies of the couple have been deposited at the New Edubuasi Government Hospital.
He said that police have since commenced investigations into the incident.
