Mr. Agbenyega Emmanuel De-Graft Quist, aged 57, a retired Accountant was butchered to death by his mentally derailed son, Kelvin De-Graft Quist aged 28 years at Okorase Junction 10, Koforidua in the Eastern Region.
According to the sources, an argument ensued between the suspect and his father on Monday, but it is unclear what triggered the misunderstanding.
The suspect allegedly took the cutlass used by his father to pluck some coconuts and rushed on him in one of the uncompleted rooms in the house and purportedly inflicted wounds on his back and neck, killing him instantly.
Quist Agbenyega’s mother and a neighbor, who sensed danger during the scuffle, rushed to the police station to report the incident.
But Mr Emmanuel De Graft Quist Agbenyega was found dead with blood oozing from his head upon their return. Kelvin was subsequently nabbed.
Ahotoronline.com has learnt that Kelvin on numerous occasions threatened to kill his late father, but the matter was settled at home instead of reporting it to the police.
As at the time of filing this report, police source hinted that investigation had been instituted into the matter and that the suspect would be arraigned before court for prosecution.
The body is subsequently removed and deposited at the Regional Hospital, Mortuary in Koforidua pending autopsy
