Man allegedly hires thugs to inflict cutlass wounds on Mother, Son at Kasoa

A mother and his son are in critical condition after a neighbour allegedly hired thugs to inflict cutlass wounds on them at Kasoa- Semanhyia in the Awutu Senya East District of the Central Region.

Information gathered suggested that the victim, identified as Yaa Comfort, and the suspect had a brawl in the past which was believed to have been resolved.

According to the mother, she was shocked when her neighbour reacted in such a manner because they were at peace with each other.  What actually led to the cause can be explained by him. 

The two were attacked when selling foodstuff in their shop.

The suspect, who is currently on the run, allegedly threatened to harm her children should he see them in the vicinity again due to the brawl with their mother.

The children rushed back home to inform their mother, a situation that caused their senior brother, Fred to confront the man.

The back-and-forth led to a fight between them amid further threats from the suspect.

However, moments after he returned to the shop, the thugs invaded the shop and inflicted a cutlass wound on his head while the mother suffered cuts on her hand which was almost falling off.

Speaking to Soireenews Network Central Regional Correspondent,  the son of Yaa Comfort affirmed that there was a little quarrel between his mum of which the suspect threatened to kill him whenever he steps foot in the house.

On that faithful day, they were in their shop when thugs numbering about 15 in a van invaded the shop with weapons such as sharp cutlass and others to harm them.  In their defence, they also threw stones at them.

The thugs were suspected to be Landguards hired by the suspect.

They have since been rushed to the Kasoa Polyclinic where they are undergoing treatment.

Meanwhile, the incidents have been reported to Kasoa Police station for Investigations, nobody has been arrested.
