Angry mob burn three to death over cattle theft

Three victims were killed and burnt beyond recognition by an irate youth for attempting to steal cattle at Biu near Navrongo.

The group abducted the suspects on Friday, June 18, 2021, following an attempt to steal cattle in the area within the Kassena-Nankana District of the Upper East Region.

However, police indicated that the three were lynched and set ablaze a few hours later.

At the time law-enforcement officers got to the scene, the three bodies had been charred making it difficult to establish their identities.

A tricycle and a motorbike were also burnt together with the suspected cattle thieves, police say.
