Man ‘kills his wife’, dumps mutilated body at landfill site

A 24-year-old man, identified only as Isaac, allegedly murdered his “wife” and deposited the mutilated body in a dump.

The incident took place in Onakwase, a farming community near Kofi Pare in the Ayensuano district of the Eastern region.

Starr News realizes that a misunderstanding occurred between the cohabiting couple about a month ago.

Abigail Larbi, who would be in her twenties, therefore stormed out of the house with her two children, including a two-year-old baby, to stay with her mother in Kofi Pare, a neighboring community.

Three weeks ago, the suspect identified only as Isaac, however, lured his angry “ wife ” to board a motorbike which he took to the community under the pretext of spending time with her, when her mother was out of the house.

The young woman has never been seen in the community.

Police investigations led to the arrest of one of Okada’s horsemen suspected of being an accomplice.

During questioning, the horseman gave information to police about the incident, but claimed the suspect briefly confided in him before leaving the community for Accra.

“The suspect after committing the heinous crime called the horseman to bring his luggage to the community of Dokrochiwa. So after picking up the bag, he left for Accra that fateful day, ”said one resident.

Further police investigation led to the arrest of the main suspect – Isaac in Medina, Greater Accra region, on Good Friday.

The suspect was, however, reluctant despite being pushed by police detectives.

He later broke the silence with a family member who visited him in the police cell.

Attempts by the police to take the suspect to the crime scene on Saturday April 3, 2021 were met with anger by some residents who besieged the scene demanding the release of the suspect to be lynched.

Due to the unstable environment, the suspect was kept in a police vehicle when investigators drove to the dump where the mutilated body of the deceased was deposited to take inventories. They took the decomposing body to the morgue for further investigation.

A resident told Starr News that “the tongue, vagina, breast and even the head were reportedly removed by the suspect.”

Samuel Otu Larbi, a former member of the Assembly, told Starr News: “Three weeks ago the lady disappeared. During this time, the suspect had taken someone’s motorbike and drove to Accra. The investigation therefore led to the arrest of the guy who gave him his motorcycle. The boy also told police that the suspect asked him to bring his bag to him. So there was pressure on the boy to help him find the suspect’s whereabouts. He was therefore arrested in Medina. The suspect was quiet until his uncle went to the police cell to speak to him before releasing the information. The uncle therefore left the police cells and went to where the body had been thrown to check before informing the police ”.

Eastern Regional Police Command Acting Public Relations Officer Sergeant Francis Gomado told Starr News the command has yet to be made aware of the incident.
