The Asesewa Police is on a man-hunt for a man who alledgely lured his fiancée to a farm and butchered her with a machete before fleeing the community.

Late Regina Ayobayo Kpabitey 

The harrowing murder of 41-year-old Regina Ayobayo Kpabitey has sent shock waves through Anyesu, a rather quiet farming community near Asesewa in the Upper Manya Krobo District of the Eastern Region.

The mutilated body of the deceased was discovered in her farm several meters away from the settlement a day after the crime, reported to have been committed by her husband-to-be, whose name was only given as Baah, on Saturday July 29, 2017.

Reports have it that around 2pm on Saturday July 29, Baah and his fiancée went to their farms to harvest foodstuff, leaving behind the 7-year-old son of the victim, Daniel Kpabitey.

Baah however, was said to have returned after about two hours without Regina. When the little boy naively enquired about the whereabouts of the mother, Baah retorted that she would soon follow.

Baah, the suspect

Information available to The Mirror indicated that, the suspect hurriedly dressed up, picked his knapsack sprayer and sneaked out of the community.

The boy became restless and started crying when in the evening the mother did not show up. He eventually passed the night with a neighbor, one Atsu who hinted the elders of the community of the absence of the deceased.

A search party, detailed by the headman of the community, one Matse Odorkor on Sunday discovered the corpse on the farm with machete wound, the head alledgely slashed into two, buried under a heap of leaves and debris.
