Police in the Central Region are interrogating nine persons over suspected ritual killings of 3 women in the Central Region recently. The bodies of the victims Mena Badu, 25 years, 40 year old Abena Atta, and an unidentified woman were found at Kissi and Besease in the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem Municipality. Central Regional Police Public Relations Officer, Corporal Raymond Asaaba confirmed to Joy News that the nine suspects are in their custody and are being interrogated. He said some of the suspects have “pleaded alibi”. But Corporal Raymond Asaaba said the police will use the interrogation to find out whether those in custody are “victims of circumstances” or are linked to the unnatural deaths. He was also confident substantial evidence would be attained from the key suspects. He told Joy News preliminary investigations point to the fact that the women were murdered for ritual purposes. “What would somebody be using human parts for except for rituals,” he said. Corporal Asaaba commended the public for an improved cooperation which has led to the arrest of some criminals in the region. This was after the public was adequately assured of absolute confidentiality in any intelligent information they offer the police, he remarked.
