Francis Afetorgbor, a fetish priest and his wife Esi Nyame of Kwamekrom in the Volta Region have been remanded in prison custody for allegedly murdering their four-year-old son Lumor Korsina for ritual purposes.
Other accomplices also remanded were Kudjo Korsina, and Dzorbesi Zeyi, both fishermen and Mallet Motorsi Korsina, herbalist all relatives of Afetrogbor.
Their pleas were not taken and would re-appear on October 10, this year.
Police Chief Inspector, Emmanuel Kpodo, prosecuting told a Hohoe Magistrate’s Court presided over by Ms Janet Awo Bakudie that on the night of July 23, this year, Kudjo Korsina sent Amewuga Korsina, six and the deceased to spend the night with Seyram Korsina in her room at C. K. Korpe (village) near Tapa-Abotoase.
He said the next day the deceased was missing and could not be found in the vicinity.
The prosecution said the matter was reported to the chief and elders, who organized a search in and around the village but to no avail, therefore a report was made to Abotoase Police.
He said during investigations, Amewuga told the police that Esi came into their room during the night and took the deceased away.
Police Chief Inspector Kpodo said it was revealed that the deceased’s disappearance was a conspiracy among the accused persons to abduct and murder him for ritual purposes to appease his father’s shrine.
He said the police acting on intelligence report went to the shrine but could not find the corpse.
