Brodi, Bono Region – A 50-year-old man, Kwame Jack, has allegedly been burnt to death by irate youth at Brodi in the Tain District after he was accused of killing his 43-year-old wife, Abena Donkor.
The tragic incident occurred between Monday night and Tuesday, following a reported misunderstanding between the couple.
