A dark cloud has descended over the Akyem Kade community in the Eastern Region following a gruesome murder-suicide that has left a three-year-old child orphaned and two families in deep mourning.<\/p>\n

In the early hours of Monday, February 2, 2026, residents of the Kwaebibrem Municipality were shaken by the discovery of two lifeless bodies inside a single-room apartment.<\/p>\n

Adom TV\u2019s Eastern Regional Correspondent Kwasi Azor reported that Atta Panyin, a 22-year-old popularly known as Koo Fante, was found hanging from the ceiling, while his 21-year-old girlfriend, Akosua Deborah, lay dead on the floor with multiple gunshot wounds.<\/p>\n

The chilling scene was uncovered around 6:00 AM when neighbours, concerned by an unusual silence or suspicious signs from the room, decided to investigate.<\/p>\n

Upon forced entry, they were met with a sight that has since sent shockwaves through the town.<\/p>\n

The most heartbreaking aspect of the tragedy is the loss of Akosua Deborah, a native of Akyem Takorase.<\/p>\n

Described by friends as a vibrant young woman, she was a mother to a three-year-old child who is now left without parents.<\/p>\n

Kofi Asare, a close friend of the deceased man and an eyewitness to the aftermath, spoke to the media with visible distress.<\/p>\n

While the specific details of their final conversation remain part of the ongoing investigation, the sense of disbelief among Panyin\u2019s peers is palpable.<\/p>\n
