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.
The mortal remains have since been deposited at the Police
Hospital for autopsy.
