A romantic triangle involving a 30-year-old woman supposedly dating two men ended bitterly when one of the men shot the other in cold blood at Alhaji, near Achimota, in Accra.
The deceased, 35-year-old car dealer Kwame Agyapong, had confronted his rival, Derrick Nana Donkor, 28, when he bumped into the love birds in the house of the lady, Keshia Akosua Osei, 30.
The ensuing confusion turned bloody as Nana Donkor pulled a gun and fired at Agyapong, killing him instantly.
It turned out that Akosua Osei was the girlfriend of the two men at the same time, but while the deceased was married, the other was single.
