Four persons have been arrested by police at Akyem Oda in the Eastern Region for allegedly killing a child accused of possessing an evil spirit.<\/p>\n
Those arrested includes the mother and grandmother of the deceased five year-old child.<\/p>\n
Eastern Regional Police Public Relations Officer, Ebenezer Tetteh, told Citi News<\/strong> the police are still on a manhunt for the father of the child who is the prime suspect.<\/p>\n \u201cThe allegation being peddled around is that the child was killed because he was finding it difficult walking. He is five years as the information says; they expected that such a child will walk. There is this superstition that such babies are from the other world, so these are the things that led to killing of the boy\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Community members\u00a0believe the five-year-old disabled child signified misfortune for the family.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Farida Yusif\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Four persons have been arrested by police at Akyem Oda in the Eastern Region for allegedly killing a child accused of possessing an evil spirit.
