21-year-old man arrested for allegedly killing his 3-week-old old baby for money rituals

A 21-year-old father, only identified as Bright, has been arrested by the Awutu Bereku District Police for allegedly killing his three-week-old baby for money rituals at Fetteh Kakraba in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region.

The incident happened Monday night after he visited the baby and the mother.

Bright’s friend said the baby was asleep while his mother stepped out to buy an item.

He asked his unsuspecting friend to go and bring the baby from the room, which he did without knowing he had ulterior motives.

“I met Bright in the school park with the baby and a few minutes later, the mother called that he was missing,” he narrated.

A resident disclosed that a search party was launched immediately after the news about the baby’s disappearance.

Bright’s friend was apprehended after the group had a tip-off that he was the one who took the baby out of the room.

The accomplice led the search party to the school park, but Bright had already killed the baby when they got there.

Bright and his friend have been arrested and are assisting with investigations.
