The Tepa police have arrested a New Patriotic Party (NPP) polling station chairman for shooting his wife to death over a piece of land.
Kwaku Seidu alias Kukrudu, the Tepa-Danyame polling station chairman of the governing party in the Ahafo Ano North district of the Ashanti region committed the bloody crime following his attempt to sell the land in question.
It is reported that he needed money to settle his debt and provide money for the family’s upkeep.
According to starrfm.com.gh, the two wives of Seidu who were unhappy with his decision to sell the land reported the matter to the Danyame Zongo Chief, Nana Mazua.
During the dispute resolution at the Zongo Chief’s palace, Seidu pulled a short gun in the presence of the chief and family members present and shot to death one of his two wives identified as Sister Adwoa.

The suspect, however, suffered some beatings and is currently on admission at the Tepa government hospital for treatment under police surveillance.
Meanwhile, the body of the deceased mother of three has been deposited at the hospital’s morgue for preservation.
