A Twenty-five (25) year-old resident of Mafi Dove in the central Tongu district of the Volta is in the grips of the Battor Aveyime Police Command for allegedly beheading a 12-year-old boy.
The suspect is said to have beheaded the minor for ritual purposes.
Rainbowradioonline.com gathered that the incident happened late Sunday night, after a drumming competition among a section of residents following the burial of one of their own.
Unit committee chairman Amos Alorse commenting on the issue said the sound of screaming residents drew their attention to the area.
Upon questioning, the suspect allegedly confessed to being sent by one prophetess Floda Ekpe, to provide her with a human head for ritual purposes.
The suspect reportedly took the head of the 12-year-old to the prophetess and subsequently dumped the rest of the body in a nearby waterbody.
Some residents traced the blood trails from the human head to the prayer camp of the prophetess and broke into the structure, where the suspect and the human head were found.
The suspect is currently in custody and assisting the police with their investigation.
