18-Year-Old Ghanian Boy Beheads His Uncle’s Wife

An 18-year-old chap, Kwame Michael, has beheaded the wife of his uncle at Nsuaem in the Ashanti Region after luring his uncle’s wife to accompany him into the bush to carry cocoa beans from his house.

After appearing before the Bekwai Magistrate Court, his plea to the offence was not taken. He reportedly confessed to the crime but is yet to reveal his motive for killing the woman, the Daily Graphic reports.

According to the newspaper, the Bekwai Police Command, with the assistance of the Nsuaem Number Two community, have embarked on a thorough search for the woman’s missing head.

As reported by the newspaper, Kwame Michael asked his uncle’s wife, Mavis Boateng, to escort him to the farm to carry his cocoa beans. When he was later asked about the whereabouts of the deceased, Kwame repudiated knowing where his uncle’s wife was.

After several hours of not knowing the whereabouts of the deceased, a search was conducted. The team later found Mavis’ body but without her head.

Funny enough, a fetish priest in the town who had collected money, eggs, and a sheep from the people to reveal the whereabouts of the deceased told them the deceased had been carried away by some dwarfs into the spirit realm.

However, according to the District Chief Executive for Bosome Freho, Mr Kwame Adarkwa, the suspect confessed to killing the deceased to him.
