The Ghana Police Service has launched an investigation into the deaths of two children in Kakpayili, a suburb of Tamale in the Northern Region.
The children were found dead on June 30, 2024, in an abandoned vehicle in one of the compounds within the Kakpayili community after they were reported missing.
They went missing on June 25, 2024, and all efforts to trace them proved futile.
According to a police statement, the bodies of the two deceased children have been deposited at the Tamale Teaching Hospital mortuary for preservation and autopsy.
The victims, Arafat and Ayaa, according to the family, went missing on Saturday, June 22, 2024, after informing their parents that they were going to visit a neighbour.
The children, however, never returned home.
Some community members went in search of the children in the house of the alleged neighbour, but they were not found.
Police investigations on Sunday revealed that the bodies were found in an abandoned car parked behind the suspect’s house.
The said neighbour is a known spiritualist, and he is suspected to have used them for ritual purposes.
Some other body parts were discovered at the scene, making the bodies eight.
