One of the many cases investigated by Tiger Eye investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, includes the killing of babies born with deformities in the northern part of the country over fear of them being evil, also known as filicide.

During a Disrupt Lab event in Germany, Anas shared portions of the investigations, which were recorded and put together as a film titled "Spirit Child."

This film talks about how children born with deformities are either abandoned or given up by their parents for killing in some evil forest.

According to Anas, he heard of such a circumstance happening in the northern part of the country.

"When I heard this, I was worried because I also come from the northern part of Ghana. I could be a victim of such killings. So then again, I went undercover with my evidence," he said.

The investigative team built a prosthetic baby from London, which was taken to a 'soothsayer.'

"I took the prosthetic baby and I gave it to the soothsayer and after some incantations, he said the child that we all know was a prothetic baby, was evil and that the child was sent into the earth to create problems in the society," Anas said.

A day was set for the baby to be examined, and the prosthetic child was put on a bed in a room filled with cameras.

The Area Crime officer and two of his colleagues monitored the scene in a different room. After assessment, the individuals decided to take the baby away and kill it. Before they could leave the premises, the police intercepted and arrested them.

Anas noted that during his investigations, he encountered 14 individuals who admitted to killing spirit children. He said they were willing to poison the prosthetic baby.

For Anas, a major part of the work he does is targeted at transforming society and reshaping the wrong that has been passed on from one generation to another.

"So part of the work is to challenge superstition in our society. To challenge the beliefs and educate people so they can understand that some of the old practices that we engage in, that lead to the death of babies are unacceptable," he said.
