The Akosombo Branch Manager of the Zenith Bank, Mr Kwesi Sakyi Prah, was shot and killed in the early hours of Sunday when two unidentified gunmen stormed his residence in Tema.
This comes after the murder of a Stanbic Bank worker in Accra about a month ago.
Prah, 34, had returned from Akosombo to spend the weekend with his wife and their two children at his two-storey residence at Community 25.
The police, however, suspect foul play, since the attackers did not take anything of significance from the house.
His body has since been deposited at the Tema General Hospital morgue for autopsy.
Confirming the incident, the Tema Regional Police Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent of Police Ms Olivia Turkson, said Prah had his white Kia Cerato vehicle, with registration number ER 2254 � 11, parked in the yard when the family went to sleep on Saturday.
She said about 2 a.m. on Sunday, two unidentified men scaled the wall of the house, broke the main entrance and entered.
She said the robbers, one of them armed with a pistol, broke into the room of the caretaker, Daniel Appiah, whose room was opposite Prah�s.
According to Ms Turkson, the robbers took the caretaker hostage and demanded that he showed them the room �of the owner of the white car with registration number ER 2254-11.
She said the robbers then broke into Prah�s room, where he was sleeping with his wife, and shot him on sight, after which they picked a small bag which contained baby diapers.
She said Prah, who did not die instantly, chased the robbers as they descended the stairs of the storey building, but he fell off, gasping for breath.
She said a police patrol team had hint of the incident and rushed to the scene, but the robbers had escaped before they arrived.
Ms Turkson said the police rushed Prah to the Tema General Hospital, but he was pronounced dead on arrival.
Meanwhile, the police have mounted a major hunt for the assailants.
