A 37-year-old tenant, Opoku Agyemang, has allegedly been stabbed to death by his landlord over an electricity bill of GHC30.
The incident has left residents of Medie Ketewa, a suburb of Medie in the Ga West Municipality of the Greater Accra Region, in shock.
Agyemang, a father of three, was allegedly in debt to his landlord, Kofi Koranteng, for the unpaid utility amount.
According to reports, the two men were not only landlord and tenant but also close friends and long-time colleagues, making the incident all the more baffling.
An eyewitness, Enoch Idan Danquah, who spoke with Onua News, noted that the landlord was unhappy with how Agyemang had been handling his electricity bill payments.
Koranteng reportedly invited Agyemang to his room to discuss the matter. During the conversation, the landlord allegedly drew a machete and fatally stabbed his tenant.
The 50-year-old landlord, who is also a father of five, fled the scene immediately after the attack.
The case has been reported to the police, and investigations are ongoing.
The body of the deceased has been transported to the Kotoku police mortuary, where an autopsy will be conducted.
