Three men are in the grips of the Volta Regional Police for allegedly murdering and attempting to sell the corpse of a 30-year-old man.
According to the Police, Kalefe Korku, 42, Afedo Kpotor, 21, and Ametoke Sitsofe, 27, approached a fetish priest in Agbozume and requested assistance to sell off the corpse of Albert Anyinado, who they allegedly murdered.
The fetish priest informed the police who feigned interest in purchasing the corpse at ¢7,000 after negotiations and agreed on a meeting point in Agavedzi on Monday morning.
The suspects, after spotting the police at the meeting point, dropped the corpse and fled the scene.
“Police subsequently pursued and arrested all the three suspects in their various houses at Agavedzi, Agbozume, and Adina.”
“The body has been deposited at Ketu South Municipal Hospital morgue awaiting autopsy”, stated a release issued by the Volta Regional Public Affairs Officer, DSP Effia Tenge.
The suspects are in police custody assisting with investigations.
