A tragic incident has occurred in the Ejisu Municipality of the Ashanti region, where a 20-year-old Samuel Obeng has been accused of murdering his 8-year-old brother, Messiah Akomeah, in a bush near Kwamo.

Following the shocking act, Samuel returned home and informed his uncle about the crime. He alleged that he was under the influence of a spirit when he led his younger brother to a secluded area, where he killed him and attempted to dispose of the body.

The suspect's uncle, Kofi Appiah, expressed his disbelief in an interview with Adom News, stating that while he was aware Samuel smoked marijuana, he never anticipated such violence.

The nearly decapitated body of Messiah has since been discovered and taken to the mortuary.
