Mensakrom, C/R, Dec. 10, GNA – Yaw Agbenu, a fetish priest at Mensakrom on Friday led heavily armed police personnel from the Agona Swedru Divisional Police Command to exhume the body of his former wife he murdered and secretly buried and allegedly told the police that this was the eighth person he had murdered since the beginning of this year. He had led the police and relatives of his late wife, Madam Afisah Salami whom he allegedly murdered on December 2, this year, when the woman came to collect money for the payment of their son’s medical bill.
The Swedru Divisional Crime Officer, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Osei Akoto, who led the team told the Ghana News Agency that the people the fetish priest allegedly murdered were not from the area since no one had reported missing relatives to the police. He said the fetish priest told the police that most of the people he killed were used for rituals.
DSP Osei Akoto said Agbenu was not able to make more revelations because of the mounting tension in the town over the murder of the woman.
According DSP Osei Akoto the police discovered a number of bones behind his house and in a nearby bush.
Meanwhile, the body of Madam Afisah Salami has since been buried at Akim Akroso, while police investigation continues.
