Hatchet Man Runs Amok

A man, armed with a machete, ran amok at Mafi-Fsikpo near Adidome in the North Tongu District of the Volta Region on Monday night, butchering his two-year old son in the process. Innocent Dogah also severed the arm of his wife, Maame Joyce Attipoe, and inflicted severe wounds on his foster child, Diana Ahlidja. The mother and her child, both with deep cuts on their hands and backs, have been admitted to the Adidome Hospital. Speaking to the Daily Graphic, the Volta Regional Crime Officer, Mr Edward Konyel, said Dogah had also been admitted to the same hospital, but under police guard, receiving treatment for the beating he received at the hands of the mob, which arrested him after he had attacked his family. He said the police were still investigating.
