Ghana: fetish priest kills himself with his wife and child

A 39-year-old fetish priest, Kwesi Tando, shot himself, his wife, Abena Ketsewa, and a one-year-old child, Richmond Tando, at Enyan Abowinum in central Ghana on Wednesday, reported starfm.

According to the website, Tando committed the act following marital issues he was having with his wife, and he decided to marry another woman.

The priest’s first daughter said her father had threatened to shoot all five children as a result of the continuous confusion and tension in the family.

The mother of the deceased woman, Adwoa Oduma, expressed worry over the incident, saying that she had been taking steps to resolve the marital issues between her daughter and her husband.

The bodies of the deceased have since been deposited at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital Mortuary for autopsy and preservation, while the other children of the deceased have also been assigned to a counselor.
