Police have refused to release the body of a 60-year-old farmer who was allegedly killed by them at Prang in the Brong-Ahafo Region on suspicion he was an armed robber.The farmer, Ntinyo Njakum, the father of 17 children, was returning from his farm late in the evening when he was caught in a cross fire between some police officers and suspected armed robbers.An eye witness said the police ignored persistent cries from the man that he was a farmer.A son of the deceased, Paul Kwame Ntinyo, told Joy News on Tuesday that even though the police admitted that the shooting of his father was an accident, they were still keeping his body - something he found difficult to understand.He said several attempts to retrieve his father’s body from the police for burial proved futile as the police inspector is insisting on intensive investigation into the matter before releasing the body to the family.
