The 33-year-old hunter, who is currently on the run, shot Madwoa on the right thigh, before re-Ioading his gun to shoot: her again under her right breast.
The hunter allegedly killed his 29-year-old wife because he suspected her of having an affair with a Sunday school teacher in her church.
DAILY GUIDE learnt that before the suspected killer took the decision to kill his wife, he quarrelled with her for allegedly flirting around...
Yaw Osei, a relative of the deceased, told DAILY GUIDE that the killer had a series or heated confrontations with the deceased any time he saw her interacting with males.
Though he had not officially married the deceased, in spite of the fact that they had three children, the suspected killer did not want any male to speak with his wife..
According to Osei, the alleged killer's jealousy was so intense that he even fought the deceased on several occasions for talking to her own extended family members and church members.
Yaw Osei said the suspect had earlier threatened the Sunday school teacher he suspected of flirting with his wits, asking him to stop talking to her.
He noted that this uncalled-for behaviour of the suspected killer infuriated the deceased who threatened to break up with him; but she was later prevailed upon by some elders to rescind her decision.
Mr. Osei stated that Kwabena Gyamfi threatened to kill the deceased but the threat was not taken seriously because the elders who mediated cautioned him to refrain from such thoughts. Gyamfi took the decision to kill his wife two days after the elders had advised her to rescind her decision of breaking up with him.
The couple was sleeping with their three children, aged 8, 5 and 3, in their room at about 1.00 am when the suspect shot and killed the deceased. Kwabena Gyamfi then left the deceased in a pool of blood for an unknown destination.
Yaw Osei said family members only found out that their relative had been murdered when the children raised the alarm at about 5.00am. The Abuakwa Divisional Police Commander, DSP Maxwell Osei, confirmed the incident and indicated that the suspect was still being sought for.
He appealed to the public to assist the police with information that could lead to the suspect's arrest.
