A man believed to be in his 40s has been reportedly lynched at Krono Odumasi near Adehyeman Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.
The cause of the murder is not yet known, but police suspect that he might be a thief.
Speaking to Kuamsi-based Ultimate FM, Chief Superintendent Kwaku Boah, Manhyia, the Divisional Police Commander said: “We had a distress call this morning that someone has been killed, we found him in a pool of blood and we spoke to some people who believe that he might have committed the crime somewhere and has been killed, but if someone has stolen a phone does the value of a phone match the life of a human being? This thing must stop, it should stop now, you don’t have the right to take the life of another person and it’s about time we end instance justice once and for all in this country."
“We must have confidence in the Police; we must have confidence in our systems, we must have confidence in our law courts, it’s not right that we take the laws into our own hands and kill people,” he lamented.
