Police in the Eastern Region have arrested a visually impaired man believed to be in his 70s, identified only as Mr Amudor for allegedly stabbing his wife multiple times to death.
The tragic incident reportedly occurred on Tuesday, March 14, 2023, at Abepotia, a suburb of Nkawkaw in the Kwahu West Municipality in the Eastern region.
According to starrfm.com.gh, the deceased wife, Grace Alifo, was found dead in a pool of blood with multiple stab wounds on the neck and breast.
