He was also bound in chains and secured to iron rods.The deceased was padlocked and despite his pleas for mercy, crashed with stones. His brother said a wooden handle of a pick-axe was used to beat him up until it broke.‘Obolo’ allegedly inflicted cutlass wounds on two people during a fight over his father’s property.But, some residents, who were infuriated by the attack, subsequently subjected the man to severe beatings which led to his death.Speaking on Adom Fm’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem on Tuesday, the Asamankese Divisional Police Commander, ACP Tefutor Keletsi said the police are on a manhunt for more suspects.He noted that the video has been sent to the police forensic laboratory to identify more suspects who perpetrated the heinous crime.
