A Bawku Circuit Court has remanded Akudugu Asawin 46, a labourer into prison custody for allegedly killing his junior brother suspected of flirting with his wife at Zawse.
He pleaded not guilty and the docket on the case has been forwarded to the Attorney General’s Department for advice.
Prosecuting, Police Inspector Andrews Yirenkyi told the court, presided over by Mr Justice Alex Owusu Ofori, that Akudugu and his wife Rebecca lived near his junior
brother Dashmani Asawin’s house at Zawse, near Bawku.
He said in the evening of Sunday, June 24, Akudugu who suspected his wife flirting with Dashmani trailed them to a drinking spot, but when they saw Akudugu behind them they separated and went different ways.
Police Inspector Yirenkyi said the two brothers later engaged in a hot brawl at the drinking spot when Akudugu confronted Dashmani for flirting with his wife but they were separated.
He said when Akudugu went home, he told his wife to leave her matrimonial home and also rejected pleas by Dashmani for the woman to leave.
The prosecution said after Rebecca had left, Dashmani went to Akudugu’s house at dawn on Monday June 25, and rebuked Akudugu for sending his wife away and this resulted in another brawl.
He said in the course of the brawl, which lasted for nearly an hour, Akudugu hit the back of Dashmani’s head with a stick, rendering him unconscious and later died while being sent to the hospital.
The prosecution said Akudugu was arrested and after investigations charged with the offence.
