A 22-year-old man named Kwame Krah has been arrested by the police for allegedly killing and burying his two-year-old son.

The incident occurred at Koraso Ward 1, near Berekum in the Bono Region, and it is believed that Krah buried the child about a month ago.

The story, reported by Nana Kwame on Nyankonton Mu Nsem on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, states that the child's mother had entrusted her son to Krah while she looked for a job.

Initially, the child, Kwame Junior, was left with his grandmother, but following an argument, Krah took the boy back.

Reports indicate that Kwame Junior fell ill, but Krah did not seek medical treatment, which allegedly led to the child's death. Krah then reportedly placed the boy in a charcoal bag and buried him, subsequently going into hiding for a month.

Upon his return, the child's mother confronted him about Kwame Junior's whereabouts. After repeated questioning, Krah confessed to killing and burying the child.

The exact details surrounding the child's death are unclear, as Krah has given conflicting accounts.

He initially claimed the child fell ill and died, prompting him to bury him. However, under pressure from local youth, he later suggested he had intentionally killed his son.

The situation became tense, with local youth threatening to lynch Krah, prompting police intervention. The police had to fire warning shots when their requests to take Krah to the station were ignored. Krah is now in custody, assisting the police with their investigation.
