The Atwima Kwanwoma Rural Bank was also set ablaze and cars also vandalised in the Wednesday February 10 skirmishes.
Class News’ regional correspondent, Frank Jackson, reports that the clashes started after the locals, on the orders of the chief of Tafo, pulled down a fence put up by the Muslims, who are laying claim to a portion of the cemetery.
The incensed Muslims armed themselves with cudgels, double-edged machetes, hammers and other crude weapons and launched an attack on the young men, who pulled down the fence.
Apart from the deaths, several others got injured in the conflict. The Police, according to Frank Jackson, appeared helpless in maintaining peace and were rather begging the two sides to stop fighting.
