The hunter was caught by the police when he went to the shrine with the human parts
A 78-year-old hunter is in the grips of the Awutu Bawjiase police for allegedly possessing human parts.
The man, Kojo Asare, who claims he hunts for snails approached a fetish priest in the area with the idea of selling human parts to him.
The fetish priest was said to have feigned interest in the business and urged him to come along with the parts on December 6.
The fetish priest then informed the police of the action of the 78-year-old causing the police to lay ambush at the shrine for the fetish priest.
The hunter was apprehended by the police when he came to the shrine with the bag containing human parts.
Upon interrogation, Asare revealed to the police that he found the parts in a forest where he was hunting for snails and decided to sell them.
He then led the police to the site where he claims he saw the sack containing the human parts.
The police only found the attire and a faded identification card believed to be that of the person who was murdered.
The suspect has since been arraigned before court and remanded into police custody for investigation to continue as the parts are to be sent for forensic laboratory audit.
