His father got frustrated , fell sick and  was taken to hospital where he died of cerebral-vascular injury on June 20,  Cameroon-Info.Net reports, citing Le jour.
The man had reportedly told his father he wanted to travel to Canada. His dad had welcomed the idea yet cautioned that they needed to save enough money with time.
The desperate man is believed to have suggested selling the shop but the father would not digest it, as the shop was the breadbasket of the family.
However, Achille appeared to have stood his ground and finally sold the shop.  
The new owner had appeared before Achille's father , making the  senior  man frustrated beyond repair.
When Achille learned of the drama , he went to accuse his mum of killing his father. The Logbesso Gendarmerie intervened and arrested  Achille, whom one of the  officers believed "is mentally sick".
