A mad man
has left residents utterly shocked after he slashed and cooked a teenage girl
in what is perhaps the most heinous crime ever.
A
fourteen-year-old girl, Docia Aina Adufa – a Primary six pupil of Akyem Asafo
Presby Primary School in the East Akyem municipality of the Eastern Region ,
Ghana – met her untimely death when Yaw Akoto, a 35-year-old mentally deranged
man, allegedly butchered her last Tuesday.
The mad
man, after allegedly killing the school girl, was said to have taken the body
to the bush, cut it into pieces and cooked it and ate it with kenkey and banku.
The
incident happened on Tuesday, January 26, 2016 and it was after a week that the
body was found without the head.
The Daily
Guide newspaper reported that an uncle of the girl, Yaw Sarpong, confirmed the
tragic incident to the media saying that the alleged madman prepared the body
for consumption.
“After
searching for my niece for three days, we later found her body parts in the
bush where that mad man lives. He had roasted some parts of the body while the
rest was in a stew the mad man had prepared,” he said.
Yaw
Sarpong said the suspect fled when he saw the search party only to be arrested
Wednesday. Her remains was found partially decomposed in the bush after a week
of search by her parents and members of the community.
A farmer
reportedly spotted the parts of the body with gallons and leaves used to wrap
banku and kenkey in a saucepan. The farmer then raised an alarm causing
residents to troop to the bush to witness the horrific sight. He went to the
Akyem Asafo police station to report the matter.
This was
confirmed to newspaper by the father of the deceased, Kwaku Feni, a 70-year-old
widower.
He said
the little girl was sent by her aunty, Cecilia Ama Afasi Adu, on Tuesday,
January 26, 2016 to fetch water but never returned.
The Suhum
Police Commander, Superintendent Yahaya Muchiraru, briefing Daily Guide,
hinted that his outfit had deployed his men and the youth into the bush to
search for the alleged madman.
Yaw Akoto
was later grabbed yesterday evening and is now cooling off in Nankese police
station cells.
