Jobless Man Commits Suicide After Killing His Wife For Denying Him Sεx

A jobless man identified as Kwesi Poku has allegedly committed suicide after killing his 38-year-old wife, Ama Afriyie, on their cocoa farm in Adumasa, Ghana.

It was learnt that the man killed his wife and later commited suicide a few meters from the crime scene because she denied him sex.

The naked decomposing body of the victims were found a day after the incident when they both failed to return from the farm.

The couple were said to have had a series of bitter quarrels regarding sex and money, and this is suspected to be the reason behind her murder.

It was gathered that Afriyie was the breadwinner of the family; trading in farm products while her husband of more than 15 years is unemployed and depends largely on his wife for his upkeep.

Speaking to JoyNews’ Erastus Asare Donkor, Head of the Bretuo Clan, Nana Gyekye Amponsah said that the deceased husband often complains bitterly that his wife no longer loved him and accused her of having affairs with other men.

“The man used to accuse the deceased [wife] of infidelity, an allegation she denied.

“His wife was the one who took care of the children, but you don’t depend on a woman for everything, shirk your responsibility and in the night you want to sleep with her as well. It is because she denied him sex that is why he killed her,” Amponsah said.

Their 6 orphaned children, five boys and a girl say they greatly miss their mother and it will never be the same with her out of the picture.

“Now we do not have anybody to correct us anymore, when mom was alive she will call all of us together and share food with us. Even when we are asleep, she will wake us up and give us food,” the children shared.

The Head of the Bretuo Clan is however pleading with Ghanaians, the government and all persons to come to their aid as he takes up the new responsibility of raising the children Ama Afriyie left behind.
