\"TheThe expectations of residents of Sunyani to see the killers who beheaded the 12-year-old boy were shattered on Friday May 13, following the inability of the police to present the three suspected killers in court.<\/p>\n

Residents who spoke to DAILY GUIDE on Friday morning said they were disappointed that the trial couldn\u2019t take off, contrary to media reports.<\/p>\n

However, the police have assured the public that come what may, the three suspects would make their first appearance in court on Monday.<\/p>\n

The Brong Ahafo Regional Crime Officer, Police Superintendent Eric Amoako, told a section of the press that the police had to make follow-up investigations to gather fresh evidence on the case.<\/p>\n

According to him, a team of investigators would on Saturday May 14, embark on a trip to the crime scene and other places to gather more information about the callous incident.<\/p>\n

The suspects, Sumaila Yahaya, 32, Yaw Fosu, 28 and Akwasi Kuma aka Mom Amie, 48, are suspected to have conspired and beheaded 12-year-old Kwame Amoah at Bompa at the Atebubu-Amanten District of the Brong Ahafo Region.<\/p>\n

Sumaila Yahaya, the prime suspect, was first seen with the severed head at the residence of a Techiman-based spiritualist, Mallam Musah Bamba, on Friday, May 6, 2011, when he attempted to use the severed human head for rituals to get rich quick.<\/p>\n

Luck however run out for him after the spiritualist alerted the police, leading to his arrest.<\/p>\n

After thorough investigations and intelligence work, Sumaila named his two accomplices and one Alidu Wala at Apoma, a farming community in the Kintampo South District, as those who gave him the human head. Wala is now at large.<\/p>\n

Last Tuesday, the Kintampo Municipal Police Commander, Edmund Owusu Boampong, led a team of investigators to Bompa, where the decomposing headless body of 12-year-old Kwame Amoah was found.<\/p>\n

The police also effected the arrest of the two accomplices at the same village.<\/p>\n
