Fetish Priest Kills Twin Brother, Lands In Police Custody
The natural tendency in twins, whether males of females is to live for and protect each other, but this is not the same with Atta.
He has landed in police net over allegedly killing his twin identified as Kakra, while the Ajumako Bekoso Police in the Ajumako Enyan Essiam District of the Central Region of Ghana are on top of the matter.
Preliminary accounts show the deceased was felled with a pickaxe at Ajumako Bekoso during a fight with his twin brother over money.
A local medium, Ghanaweb which reported the incident, said the Ajumako Enyan Essiam District Police Commander, Chief Supt. Sabaliko Alhassan, had confirmed the sad incident.
Alhassan said Kakra reportedly took the mobile phone of the suspect and succeeded in withdrawing an unspecified amount of money from his mobile money account.
The police chief narrated that the suspect later got to know about the withdrawal and confronted his twin brother, but Kakra denied knowledge.
The police officer narrated that the suspect, not satisfied with the answers, continuously ‘interrogated’ his brother with questions, leading to a heated exchange of words which later degenerated into a scuffle.
He disclosed that Atta Kakra went in for a pickaxe to harm the suspect, Atta Panin, who managed to dispossess him of the weapon and turned the heat against him.
He subsequently hacked Atta Kakra with the pickaxe, thereby killing him instantly.
Chief Supt. Alhassan said Atta Kakra was declared dead at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, where he was sent to for medical attention.
His body has since been conveyed to the morgue, whilst the suspect has been placed in custody at the Ajumako Police Station, assisting in investigations.
