The Jacobu police command has arrested a fetish priest for allegedly shooting his 14-year-old son to death in the Ashanti Region.
Information gathered indicates that the incident occurred during an altercation between the fetish priest and one of his two wives at home.
“During the misunderstanding, the priest barged into his room, pulled out a gun and pointed it at his wife. His little child attempted to block the shot by placing his hand on the nozzle but his father fired the shot,” an eyewitness recalled.
“It didn’t end there, he pointed it and shot at his 14-year-old son who heard the noise and came out from the room. The boy unfortunately died instantly,” the eyewitness narrated.
According to the report, the surviving child has been admitted at the St. Peters Hospital in Jacobu while the father has been arrested and kept in custody by the police.
He is expected to be put before court before the end of the week.
