His mother 38, George Kwetey, 38, and Emmanuel Bortey, a 14-year-old JHS two student are however on admission at the Central Regional Hospital in Cape Coast where they are said to be responding to treatment.Nana Kwesi Boadi has been charged with murder and causing harm.Presiding Judge at the Tarkwa Circuit Court, Samuel Obeng-Diawuo remanded the chief into custody and explained the suspect had to be remanded for his own safety because some residents were furious and could harm him.He however added that matters of such nature needed to be handled cautiously so that justice would be served.It was a solemn atmosphere in the packed courtroom as several chiefs, relatives and well-wishers including the Queen Mother of the Wassa Fiase Traditional Council came to lend support to the chief. Some chiefs attempted to persuade journalists not to publicize the matter.The Wassa Fiase Traditional Council is said to have been badly hit by the incident and are praying for clemency.
