Two persons have been killed while another remains missing following a deadly attack on a farm at Keri in the Nkwanta South Municipality of the Oti Region.
The deceased have been identified as 45-year-old Kofi Appiah and his 16-year-old son, Adom Emmanuel.
According to reports, the victims were working on their farm when they were attacked by unknown assailants. A second son who was with them at the time has since gone missing, with search efforts currently underway to locate him.
The bodies of the deceased have been conveyed to the Nkwanta South Government Hospital morgue for preservation, autopsy and further examination.
The circumstances leading to the attack remain unclear. However, residents and family members suspect the incident may be linked to the protracted conflict affecting parts of the municipality, which has heightened security concerns in the area.
Police have launched investigations into the killings and the disappearance of the third victim.
Authorities are expected to engage witnesses and members of the community as part of efforts to identify the perpetrators and determine the motive behind the attack.
