Six people have been arrested in connection with the burning to death of a 60-year-old Isaac Ansah at Achonwa, in the Ahanta West Municipality of the Western Region.
The unfortunate incident happened on Thursday, June 27th, 2024.
Details emerging indicate that the victim was burned alive by the mob after a fetish priest from Achonwa told the elders of the town that Ansah had submitted 14 people from the community for him to kill them.
The late Ansah was already serving over two years in the community for a previous allegation of causing the death of a resident spiritually.
The suspects arrested in connection with the incident include the caretaker chief of the community, Nana Ojandi, the assemblyman, Godfred Cudjoe, the fetish priest, the chief fisherman, as well as two others.
The remains of the late 60-year-old Isaac Ansah have since been sent to the mortuary for an autopsy.
The deceased’s family has requested an investigation into the incident, as well as the prosecution of those responsible.
They are also hoping to have the deceased relative’s body to bury.
