    Tragedy struck residents of Egyam in the Ahanta West District of the Western Region on Saturday when a 38-year-old hunter, Kobena Moshie, mistook a man for a game and shot and killed him.

    The body of Kwasi Eric, 36, had been deposited at the
    Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital for autopsy while Moshie had been
    placed in police custody for further investigations.

    The Kwesimintsim District Police Commander, Deputy Superintendent
    of Police (DSP) Ayamga Aklogo Yakubu confirmed the story to GNA in
    Takoradi on Sunday.

    DSP Yakubu said Moshie claimed he went to the bush around 2200
    hours on Saturday for a hunting expedition and shot at a huge bird
    perching on a tree.

    The District Police Commander said that Moshie claimed he went to
    look for the bird only to find the deceased lying dead in a pool of
    blood.
    DSP Yakubu said Moshie reported the incident to the assembly
    member of the area, Mr. Joseph Cudjoe, and the two went to the scene.
    The District Police Commander said the assemblyman accompanied
    the suspect to the Kwesimintsim Police station on Sunday to report the
    tragedy.

    ammunitions were retrieved from the suspect.
