35 years alleged Dandu Painter, has Kofi Kumi 39, ablaze at Sefwi Bekwai, in the Bibiani Ahwianso Bekwai Municipality of the Western North Region.
Narrating the ordeal to Onua Tv, Correspondent Emmanuel Sowah, the deceased mother, Yaa Foriwaa explained that her son (Kofi Kumi) went to a nearby community (Kojina) to decorate a dead body and in the process entered a drinking spot to take alcoholic beverage which he refused to pay. So the drinking spot attendant told her sister at Sefwi Bekwai to retrieve her money from the deceased ( Kofi Kumi), which trigginto a state of misunderstanding, so the family quickly went to the lady to settle down the issue, the said lady forgave him.
So, the next day, what we heard was that someone had informed the lady’s husband ( Dandu Painter), that Kofi Kumi has rained insults on her wife and even used ‘f’ words, so Dandu Painter in the process got angry and decided to buy petrol from a nearby fuel station.
The deceased mother Yaa Foriwaa, however, alleged that the next information the family heard was that their son has been set on fire and was rushed to Greenshield Hospital where he met his untimely death.
The family is therefore appealing to the Sefwi Bekwai Police Command and IGP to arrest the suspect (Dandu Painter) to face the full rigours of the law.
The body of the deceased has been deposited at Sefwi Ahwianso Hospital for preservation.
