A 14-year-old girl, Docia Ama Adufa – a Primary 4 pupil of Akyem Asafo Presby Primary School in the East Akim municipality of the Eastern Region – met her untimely death when Yaw Akoto, a 35-year-old mentally deranged man, allegedly butchered her.
The madman, after allegedly killing the school girl, was said to have taken the body to the bush, cut it into pieces and cooked it with kenkey and banku. An uncle of the girl, Yaw Sarpong, confirmed tragic incident to the media saying that the alleged madman prepared the body for consumption. “After searching for my niece for three days, we later found her body parts in the bush where that man lives. He had roasted some parts of the body while the rest was in a stew the mad man had prepared,” he said.
Yaw Sarpong said the suspect fled when he saw the search party only to be arrested yesterday. The body was found partially decomposed in the bush after a week of search by her parents and members of the community. A farmer reportedly spotted the parts of the body with gallons and leaves used to wrap banku and kenkey in a saucepan. The farmer then raised an alarm which made the residents troop to the bush to witness the horrific sight.
