They attacked three houses and robbed the occupants of two of their mobile phones, a laptop computer and cash amounting to more than GH¢600.00 (6 million cedis).
He said it was when they attacked the third house where the boy lives with his parents that the boy fired back at them, killing one of them. Moshe and the other robber escaped.
