In an interview with Kasapa News Yaw Boagyan, the father of the deceased or missing boy, Kwame Darko revealed that the suspects told their friends that, they will kill somebody for rituals and use the money to buy a luxury car before the 2022 Awutu Awubia Annual Festival.

They are calling on the Inspector General of Police to immediately support the District with adequate police Personnel.

Members of the community have promised to assist the police to hunt for the other accomplices.
