“We saw the first lightening and we wanted to go home but the rain was too heavy, suddenly there was another strange lightning and instantly I saw my wife, daughter and my son-in-law on the ground lifeless, my wife gained consciousness after some minutes but my daughter and son in law could not wake up again.”
Unconfirmed report says the couple fought and cursed themselves over Gh20 a day before the rains.
