Isaac Bentum, 45, died instantaneously after inadvertently shooting himself at Bonsoku, a rural village in the Awutu Senya West District of the central region.
According to ASP Kingsley Asante, District Police Commander of Senya Bereku, the hunter Issac Bentum returned from hunting at 12am midnight but refused to remove the remaining bullets from his double bar gun, according to information gathered by the police.
