Wife of the police officer who murdered his two children and
mother-in-law suspects he was pushed by spiritual forces to commit the
gruesome crime.
Lance Corporal Wilfred Amuzu killed his mother-in-law and his two
young sons (three months and one-year-old +) with a rifle which he had
booked for duty on Monday evening, July 25.
The mother-in-law was said to be bathing her grandchild when the
Lance Corporal shot her and the baby, killing them both, after which he
shot the other child before committing suicide.
Rapha
Iddrisu, 29, told journalists today at the Devtraco Police Station in Community 25
that there was no way her husband would have committed the act if he
was in his right mind. The devastated woman said she noticed changes in her husband some
months back. His utterances had changed and some things he said did not
make sense.
had accused her of witchcraft and
blamed her for his inability to succeed and also threatened to kill her.
It was the threat to kill that pushed her to look for a new
accommodation for herself, her mother and her two young children.
On that tragic day, Rapha said she had
gone to her sister’s house in Ashiaman to ask if it was possible for
her and the children to move to her house because she no longer felt comfortable in the house.
She said eyewitnesses told her that they heard four gunshots in the
house but were unperturbed because they didn't think anyone was being
killed. She revealed that she had audio recordings of certain absurd things
her husband had said. This convinced her that her husband was unstable
and something was pushing him to turn into someone different.
The Tema Regional Police has begun investigations into circumstances
which led to the triple murder-suicide.
