A 28-year-old man, identified as Yaw Asamoah, has died in a shocking incident at Abrense near Atobease in the Amansie West District of the Ashanti Region.
The tragic event occurred on Monday, November 3, 2025, after Asamoah reportedly lost GHC1,000 during a visit to a commercial sex worker.
Efforts to recover the missing money are said to have sparked a heated confrontation that ended fatally.
