A Cape Coast Magistrate Court has remanded into prison custody, the 37-year-old Kweku Mensah who is alleged to have beheaded Nana Eguase 50-year-old Ebusuapanyin of the Ekumfi Narkwa community, in the Mfantseman municipality of the Central region.
The 50-year-old Ebusuapanyin’s horrifying death led to communal violence in the area, as the Fantes clashed with Ewe settlers, during which three people from the community were killed and several houses set ablaze. His sister Aba Koba, who concealed the act, was also remanded into prison custody.
Joy FM’s Central Regional correspondent Richard Kojo Nyarko reported that the Court which was presided by Mr. Kweku Ohemeng Mensah adjourned the case to July 16 based on an appeal by the prosecution.
The prosecution had prayed the court remanded the two persons, Kweku Mensah the culprit and his sister 30-year Aba Koba who had concealed the act. The court upheld the plea of the prosecution and remanded the accused persons accordingly.
Kweku Mensah and his sister Aba Koba have been sent to the Ankaful Prison and Sekondi Prison respectively.
