Kumasi — A 55-year-old chainsaw operator has been arrested by the police in connection with the death of a community police assistant.
It was not very clear as to how the deceased went into the forest.
He was stationed at the Mankranso Police Station, and neighbours believed he might have gone to monitor the activities of some illegal chainsaw operators in the forest.
The incident occurred at about 12 noon on Sunday, in the Ahiamankwa Forest, near Kunsu Wioso, in the Ahafo Ano South District of Ashanti.
Gyan, according to a police source, was using a chainsaw to cut up the tree when the trunk fell on the victim.
