Emmanuel Amegah, according to her younger sister Selina has for sometime now shown signs of mental illness, but she stated,  he was still cooperating until he did the unthinkable that night . 

She narrated to the Information Services Department  (ISD ) that, she saw a flame in the night around 10:50 pm through his windows when she was about to sleep, and step out  from her room curiously, only to see Emmanuel set the house ablaze. 

Upon a loud shout for help from neighbours, Emmanuel ran into one of the room to hide himself. The inferno got him stuck in the room, and go burnt beyond recognition. 

The body of the deceased has since been deposited at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital morgue pending autopsy. 

Meanwhile, his younger sister Aku, and mother are also  receiving medical treatment at the same health facility after being traumatised by the calamity. 

A 94 year old father of Emmanuel Amegah, Efo Amegah receiving the items thanked the District Assembly for responding swiftly to their plight and appealed to the public to come to their aid.
