Two suspects<\/strong><\/span><\/a> are currently in police custody for their involvement in the beheading of the five-year-old.<\/p>\nRelatives and neighbours sat close to Janet Salifu and with their hands\u00a0supporting\u00a0their jaws, they consoled and sympathized with a mother in deep pain after the head of her five-year-old son, Silas Kunsana was found in the possession of the suspects on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The suspects later led police to retrieve the torso in an uncompleted building<\/p>\n
Janet and her family live in\u00a0a slum, behind the Asanteman Senior High School in Kumasi.<\/p>\n
She moved to Kumasi with her husband from Nadowli in the Upper West Region to seek a better living.<\/p>\n
Her plans to start a new\\ life for herself and her family were devastated after news that her only male child, a twin, was beheaded.<\/p>\n
In a shaky voice, she called for justice when she spoke to\u00a0Citi News.<\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cThe\u00a0perpetrators\u00a0should be killed the same way they killed my son. They used a knife to cut off his head and I want the same to be done to them. I am in grief and I have not even eaten for five days. If Government does not treat the\u00a0perpetrators\u00a0in the same manner, I will not be a happy mother. The situation might even lead to my death,\u201d she lamented.<\/p>\n
Janet called on the police service to expedite processes to release the beheaded body for burial.<\/p>\n
She also appealed to the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Suame Constituency and Government to help her financially to lessen the burden on her.<\/p>\n
Her first two daughters, who are also twins, are in Senior High School (SHS).<\/p>\n
Saguster and Sagut Dakorah could not hold their grief either and also called for justice.<\/p>\n
Family calls for support<\/strong><\/p>\nHead of the family, Doodah Babakparanaa also appealed for financial support from Government and other benevolent bodies for the burial of the five-year-old and for the necessary rites to be performed.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if the body is released to us for burial, it is going to be difficult for us financially. So we are calling on Government to assist us\u201d, he appealed.<\/p>\n
Police investigate spiritualist<\/strong><\/p>\nPolice in the Ashanti region have begun questioning a spiritualist, Sheik Mohammed Maheey after he alerted police of the act, leading to the arrest of the suspects.<\/p>\n
The suspects\u00a0approached the spiritualist to buy the human head.<\/p>\n
The spiritualist accepted to buy the head for GHc 2,500 and secretly alerted the police.<\/p>\n
The Police proceeded to the residence of the spiritualist at Suame Zongo and arrested the suspects with the fresh head, which was concealed in a black polythene bag.<\/p>\n
Ashanti Regional Police Commander, COP Ken Yeboah said is investigating the role of the spiritualist in the mater.<\/p>\n
Silas was picked by the suspects at a game center in the area when he went to play.<\/p>\n
Residents in the area want the game center to be closed down.<\/p>\n
