The Chief was reported to have given the order on the grounds that the deceased did not take part in communal labour when he was alive.<\/p>\n

He and some thirteen youth from the community, suspected to have executed his order, were subsequently arrested, and they appeared in court today [Thursday].<\/p>\n

\"assin-2\"
\nThey have been charged with conspiracy to exhume a corpse, exhuming a corpse and causing fear and insecurity by their action.<\/p>\n

All the fourteen suspects pleaded not guilty to the charges.<\/p>\n

Prosecuting, Chief Inspector Joe Louis of the Assin Foso police, asked the court to remand the suspects in police custody to help the police fine-tune their investigations.<\/p>\n

The Judge agreed with the prosecutor and remanded all the fourteen suspects in police custody to reappear on July 10, 2017.<\/p>\n
