A 45-year-old palm wine tapper from Ghana was arrested after he fatally stabbed his best friend because he allegedly saw him sleeping with his fiancée in his dream, GhanaWeb reported.
The suspect, identified as Desco, managed to get the deceased victim to follow him into a bush before killing him. The fatal incident occurred on October 8, and the suspect admitted committing the crime.
“I lured my friend into the bush and unknown to him, I stabbed him from the back. He fell down and I repeated it till he gave up his ghost,” the suspect reportedly confessed.
