Residents of Mahean in the Ga West Municipality were thrown into a state of shock after a landlord allegedly murdered a tenant.
The suspect, Agyei Boye, who is in the custody of the Amasaman police, allegedly killed Kofi Abu, 31-year-old, after the deceased confronted him for abusing his two-year-old daughter.
Narrating the sad incident to the media, the wife of the deceased said her two-year-old daughter was pushed and stepped on by the landlord for crawling near his door.
She said her husband confronted the landlord for stepping on a toddler which led to a scuffle.
The landlord, who is an ex-footballer, overpowered the tenant and attacked him with a cutlass.
The wife of the deceased screamed for help but to no avail until the landlord succeeded in allegedly killing her husband.

“The landlord stepped on my two-year-old daughter who was crawling to his doorway. My husband confronted him on why he did that to the toddler and the landlord attacked him haphazardly with the cutlass and slashed every part of his body.
