He further revealed that GH Kobby had consumed alcohol before the incident, which may have impaired his judgment and accuracy.
“My brother had taken in alcohol. That’s why he missed and ended up shooting Yaa Baby, who was just sitting there using her phone,” he added.
The incident occurred in Seker, a community in Yeji, the capital of the Pru East District in the Bono East Region, shortly after the couple had attended the funeral of the late Mamponghene Daasebre Osei Bonsu II.
