Ghanaian man accused of killing girl and roasting her flesh

Police  are investigating the murder of a fourteen year old girl, Ama Dociah whose body was found mutilated in the bush in Akyem Asafo in the Eastern region.

Docia left home on January 26 2016 to fetch water and never came back.

A search organised yesterday by the community with assistance from the police discovered the body of the girl cut into pieces in the bush close to the town.

A 35 year old man named Yaw Akoto has been arrested  for the murder. According to an uncle to the deceased, Yaw Sarpong, the suspect is widely known in the community to be mentally challenged.

He told Okay Fm in Accra that when the search party found her niece,  “her two hands were cut off and her breast was also cut and her vagina too. He has cut them and he was grilling them at his hideout.”

Deputy Eastern regional police spokesperson Sageant Gideon Boateng  told pulse.com.gh  “we saw certain things but we have to send the body to the experts to ascertain whether it was being roasted but from physical intention one will say the body was being roasted."

He said the case was still being investigated and will look into the roasting claims.

The suspect who is still in police custody will be put before court on Friday January 05, 2016.
