Residents of Kaseim in the Kwabre District of the Ashanti Region are struggling to come to terms with how marital conflicts have claimed the life of four people in the community within a year.
Two men who assaulted their wives in separate incidents for threatening to walk out their relationships have killed three people who tried to intervene.
Kwame Bonsu, a culprit in the first of the two tragic events, in which two people died, was later arrested and lynched by a mob, last year. His wife had denied him sex because of a strange wound in his lump in his anus after marriage.
He slashed the throat of his in-law who had attempted to intervene. Another also died in trying to save the situation.
In the second incident which occurred last Thursday, a security guard stabbed one person to death and inflicted knife wounds on two others under similar circumstances before going into hiding.
Luv FM's Erastus Asare Donkor reports that, Prince Yeboah, a security man last Thursday slit his wife severally after she threatened to divorce him. Three other tenants who attempted saving the woman were stabbed and one died later. The suspect is on the run.
Meanwhile, residents are demanding action from the traditional leaders of the area "to do something about the situation, Erastus reported.
