A motorbike theft turned deadly in Awutu Kwame Watey, a community in the Awutu Senya West District, on the afternoon of Wednesday, November 6, 2024.

One man is dead, and another is in critical condition following a violent lynching by an enraged mob after the two allegedly stole a motorbike.

It was around 4:30 PM when two men, identified as originating from Agona Kwayanko in the Agona East District, set out on a daring robbery mission.

They hired the services of a local Okada rider, a motorbike transport service commonly used in rural Ghanaian communities.
