A 21-year-old man with a reported mental condition has allegedly killed his mother and brother in a violent incident at Achiase, a community near Offinso in the Ashanti Region.
The tragedy reportedly unfolded following a misunderstanding that escalated into a deadly confrontation inside the family home.
According to Crime Check, the young man first attacked his mother with a machete, and his brother suffered the same fate when he tried to intervene.
The shocking incident sparked outrage among community members, who reportedly descended on the suspect shortly afterward. He died from the mob attack before authorities could intervene.
The bodies of the deceased have been deposited at a morgue, while police are working to restore calm and gather further details.
Authorities are expected to launch a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding both the killings and the subsequent mob attack.
