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

Following the horrific event, Samuel returned home to notify his uncle about the murder, claiming he was under the influence of a spirit when he lured his younger brother to the secluded area where the crime occurred.

Kofi Appiah, the suspect's uncle, expressed his disbelief during an interview with Adom News, noting that while Samuel has a history of smoking marijuana, he never anticipated such a violent act.

Authorities have since discovered the nearly decapitated body of the boy, which has been taken to the mortuary for examination.
