Residents of Sefwi Amoakrom in the Bia West District of the Western North Region were thrown into a state of shock Thursday afternoon after a 22-year-old man, Francis Awuni, beheaded his boss, Mr Azumah in his rice farm.
The suspect after the dastardly act is said to have reported himself to the police and was arrested.
The Assemblyman for Amoashed Electoral Area, Hon. Edward Takyi who confirmed the horrific incident said the deceased (Azumah) went to the Northern part of Ghana to hire Francis Awuni as labourer to work on his farm.
He said the suspect claimed his late boss had tried to kill him but he managed to overpower him and chopped off his head.
Francis Awuni is in custody assisting investigations while the body has been deposited at the Bia West Government hospital for an autopsy report.
