Three – persons – have been confirmed dead following a shooting incident that occurred in Nkawkaw, the Kwahu West Municipal capital earlier on Tuesday, May 20.
Eyewitnesses told Republic online that the deceased, who have resorted to resting in their coven where they normally sit were gruesomely ambushed by an unknown – yet- to- be identified assailants who subsequently opened fire on the three without any recourse nor provocation.
“The assailants came with a motor, wearing mask. They went straight to where the three men and one young guy had seated and opened fire on them killing two at the spot. The third victim attempted fleeing but they (the assailants) pursued and shot him at the back of a house”,
Another young boy who survived the sudden attack sustained some injuries.
The injured victim has been taken to the hospital for medical support.
The exact motive behind the attack is still unknown as official report has been made to the Nkawkaw Central Police Department for further investigation to begin.
