Police arrests two suspects for murdering a 5 year old boy in Kumasi

The incident, which happened at Ampabame, near Sokoban, in Kumasi led to the police retrieving the headless body of the little boy in an uncompleted building.

Commissioner of Police (COP) Ken Yeboah, Ashanti Regional Police Commander, told journalists in Kumasi that, the suspects approached Sheik Alhaji Mohammed Mzeye, a spiritualist at Suame Zongo to sell human parts to him.

The suspects, Vikuniba Joe Zoot, 21 and Kozel Borama 25, both from Tongo, were arrested when they were about to sell the severed head of the boy, which had been concealed in a black polythene bag to a Malam at Suame Zongo for rituals.
