Two brothers, Fofo Agboyemeh and Kwame Agboyemeh, are in critical condition after being caught and beaten to a pulp after illegally exhuming the body of a 10-year-old boy.
The deceased, identified as James Ajoyemeh, had been buried three days earlier at the Adawukwa cemetery near Awutu Bawjiase in the Awutu Senya West District.
The suspects reportedly exhumed the body and were intercepted by some okada riders at Ashalaja around 1 a.m., following a tip-off.
An angry mob confronted the suspects and assaulted them before the Denkyira Police intervened, preventing potential lynching.
The suspects were taken into custody by the Awutu Bawjiase Police Command and later transferred to the Bawjiase Polyclinic due to the severity of their injuries.
Investigations are ongoing to uncover the motive behind the exhumation and the suspects’ actions.
