Police have arrested a jealous man for killing his ex-new wife’s husband in Edwinase-Munsunkwa, which is in the Wassa East District of the Western Region.
It is said that the suspect, whose name is Kojo Arthur aka Capo, did the crime with his friend Buabeng.
The Assembly member for Edwinase Electoral Area, George Arthur, told the host of Connect FM’s Omanbapa morning show, Nhyiraba Paa Kwesi Simpson, that the event happened. He also said that the suspect has three children with his ex-wife, Edufuwa.
“They were married, but they got a divorce for their own reasons. The woman moved on and met someone else in the next town, but it looks like her ex-husband still loved her and decided to fight for her. She doesn’t have any kids with her new husband, but they were happy until the sad thing happened,” he said.
He said that the suspect went to his ex-housewife’s with a friend and did the crime late on Thursday, October 13, 2022, because he was jealous.
“They took a machete and other weapons with them. As soon as they got to the house of his ex-new wife’s husband, they attacked him and cut his throat. He died from too much bleeding because no one was there to help. Because our roads are so bad, no one was able to get him to the nearest hospital, no matter how hard they tried,” he said.

Since then, Robert Osei’s body has been taken to the Jukwa Hospital, and the suspect and his friend have been turned over to the police, so they can investigate.
“After committing the crime, they tried to sneak out of the town, but some young people caught them. They tied them up and gave them to the police when they came. “The Atobiase Police Station in the same district is holding them right now,” the Assembly member said.
