A 21-year-old man, Anas Adams, is in the firm grip of the Nima police for killing his father on the eve of the father’s day. Anas claimed he had been ordered by a spirit to use a pickaxe to kill his father, Adam Abdullai, 65. According to the story which was confirmed by the Nima Divisional Police Commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police Mr. Timothy Bonga, the suspect, his father and stepmother lived in the same house at Mamobi in Accra. Anas said at the eve of the crime he heard he heard voices telling him to go and hit his father. “Something came into my mind to hit him so I picked the pickaxe and hit him,” he said. Mr. Bonga said the suspect struck the left side of his father’s head, killing him instantly. He said after committing the heinous crime at about 11:00pm. Last Saturday, Anas failed to report the incident to anyone. He said not until about 4:00pm on the following day when Anas reported the incident to his brother, Aziz Osman. Mr. Bonga said Osman then led the suspect to the landlord and the assembly member of the area, Alhaji Abu Hamid, for them to lead them to report the matter to the police. According to Mr. Bonga, Osman, together with the landlord and Alhaji Hamid, sent the suspect to the police. He said the police went the deceased’s house and found his body lying in a pool of blood and on his bed, with his brain matter out. Mr. Bonga said when the suspect was asked about the relation between him and his father, he said although the relation between them was not bad, he did not like his father because his father did not support his education after he had dropped out of school at primary two. He said investigations were on going to process the suspect for court.
