Kasoa murder: Court remands teen suspects into Police custody

Ofaakor District Court in the Central region has remanded the two teen boys accused of murder in Kasoa.

The court presided by her worship, Rosemond Vera Ocloo, remanded the teenagers Felix Nyarko and Nicholas Kini into police custody to reappear on April 20, 2021.

The family of the 11-year-old boy they allegedly murdered and other residents thronged the court to catch a glimpse of the suspects.

Background

Two teenage boys, 17 and 16 were arrested by the Police in Kasoa in the Central region for killing a 10-year-old boy for alleged money rituals.

In a video seen by Starrfm.com.gh, the two boys are handcuffed and placed in the bucket of a police pick-up vehicle while surrounded by an angry mob.

Information gathered indicates that the suspects lured the deceased, only known as Ishmael by his peers, into an uncompleted building and hit him with an object, killing him instantly.

There are claims that a fetish priest in the Volta Region told the two suspects to bring human parts for rituals, hence the action of the pair.

The angry mob insisted on lynching the boys when they were arrested and could be heard cursing and throwing insults at the boys but were prevented by the Police.
