A 40-year-old man, Stephen Alatey, is currently on the run after allegedly killing his wife and stepdaughter and attacking a hunter who attempted to save his remaining children.
The incident occurred in Aha-nso-wode, near Agona Bobikuma in the Central Region.

However, while walking toward the roadside, the suspect reportedly launched a brutal attack on them, killing his wife and stepdaughter in the process.
The remaining two children, terrified by the attack, cried out for help. Their cries attracted the attention of a hunter who intervened to rescue them.
Unfortunately, the suspect turned his rage toward the hunter, inflicting severe cutlass wounds before fleeing the scene.

He stated that, the hunter is currently receiving treatment at Agona Swedru Municipal Hospital, while the two surviving children have been placed under Police protection.
