A 24-YEAR-OLD self-style fetish priest has been
arrested by the Sege District Police Headquarters for allegedly butchering his
aunt.
The sad incident occurred at Goi — a village at Sege within the Ada West District
of the Greater Accra Region.
Isaiah Tetteh Sebbie reportedly inflicted
machete wounds on Tornyersi Sebbie — his
father’s sister who is believed to be about 60 years — for reasons yet to be established by the
police.
Confirming the incident to DAILY GUIDE, Deputy
Superintendent of Police (DSP) George Aboagye, Commander of the Sege District
Police Headquarters, said the victim was brought to the police station with
multiple deep wounds on the upper part of her body.
The police officer said the victim was rushed
to the Ada East District Hospital but heard later that she had passed on.
“Police went to the hospital and the medics at
the facility confirmed the death before the corpse was sent to the Police
Hospital morgue for examination and preservation,” the Commander stated.
DSP Aboagye explained that report available to
police indicated that family of the deceased woke up on Sunday morning and
found her with deep machete wounds, adding “the woman told her family that the
suspect assaulted and inflicted machete wounds on her.”
The suspect was immediately arrested from his hideout in the area to assist in investigation.
