A 22-year-old ex-convict has been remanded for allegedly murdering and secretly burying his 72-year-old grandmother, Patience Hushie.
The sad incident is said to have taken place last month when the suspect, Shadrach Hushie, felt provoked by the deceased at her Zenu residence in Ashaiman in the Greater Accra region.
The deceased went missing for weeks until the suspect was fingered in an investigation and confessed to the crime after his arrest, reports Joy News’ Kwame Yankah.
Ashaiman district court on Monday adjourned the case to June 20, this year to enable police to complete their investigations.
Police at Zenu-Atadeka district have also initiated a court process to have the body of Patience Hushie exhumed for autopsy.
The uncompleted building in which the deceased was buried has since been cordoned off.
Background
