A 60-year-old farmer, William Tettey Ahulu has been shot and killed by a hunter, David Asare at Ayermesu-Pierngwa in the Lower Manya Krobo Municipality.
 The hunter, 35, has been charged with  murder.
Prosecuting, Detective Inspector Simon Kwadzo Gavor, told the Odumase Krobo Circuit Court Asare is resident of Madam, a suburb of Odumase Krobo while Ahulu lived at Ayermesu-Pierngwa, a farming community.
On March 3, 2016 at about 2:30 a.m., D/Inspector Gavor continued, Ahulu went to the bush at Ayermesu- Pierngwa to inspect traps he had set the previous day and Asare also went to the same area for hunting.Â
Asare saw the deceased at a distance and mistook him for a game and shot at it after which he rushed to the spot to pick his game only to realise that he had rather shot a human being who died shortly in his presence.
From there he went to the Ayermesu-Pierngwa community to inform the local chief, Tetteh Adekorley, about the incident who accompanied Asare to the Odumase Krobo Police Station to report the issue.Â
The police accompanied Asare and the chief to the crime scene and the body was taken to the police hospital for autopsy.
The court presided over by Mr Frank Gbeddy remanded  Asare into prison custody and ordered the police to forward the docket to the Attorney General’s Department for advice, Graphic Online reported.
