The Police in Sunyani have arrested a 28-year-old man for allegedly killing two boys.
Richard Appiah was arrested after the father of one of his victims, Louis Agyemang Junior, aged 12, reported him to the police.
According to the police statement sighted by JoyNews, Thomas Adjei reported that the suspect, who is also his stepson, had come for Louis around 5:30 pm on Friday, August 20.
However, at about 10 pm, Mr Adjei said his younger son had still not returned home.
Accompanied by his four brothers, the complainant arrested the suspect, who he believed knew the whereabouts of the 12-year-old boy and brought him to the station for questioning.
The Police, together with the complainant and suspect, then proceeded to the house where the suspect resides in the Alaska area near Abesim.
The statement revealed that the team found the deceased lying in a supine position in a room, while another murdered person was found in a different room.
During a further search of the house, pieces of flesh suspected to be parts of a different person were found in a double door fridge.
The name of that deceased was given as Stephen, aged 15 years. Parents of the other victims are yet to identify their bodies.
Meanwhile, the Regional Crime Scene Management team, Regional Crime Officer and District Commander in Sunyani assist with the investigations.
JoyNews sources have disclosed that the IGP is on his way there for first-hand information on the issue and to commend the community members for their ability to smoke the alleged murderer out.
