Felix Nyarko, the first accused person in the alleged murder of a 13-year-old boy in Kasoa, Ishmael Abdallah, has given a heart-wrenching account of how, together with the second accused person, they killed the deceased three years ago.
Addressing the court under oath, Felix recounted how the deceased was lured into the uncompleted building, beaten with a stick, hit with a block on the head, and buried while he was still breathing.
Though Felix has pleaded not guilty to the charge of murder, in opening his defense in the criminal case, he admitted to killing the deceased together with the second accused person.
He narrated that the deceased was killed in furtherance of completing a process to get money.
According to him, the idea was hatched following an advert he chanced upon on Lucky TV where a female host announced that with GH5,000, he could become rich.
Upon notifying the second accused, Nicholas Kini, a decision was made to contact the fetish priest, who, in addition to the GH5,000, requested that they present a human being.
Per his account, the second accused advised that the deceased be used as he was a close friend of the first accused.
The first accused hatched a plot to kidnap the deceased and ask for a ransom of GH5,000 from his parents.
However, the kidnapping attempt was foiled due to the inability of the first accused to cover the mouth of the deceased with a handkerchief filled with medicine, which was intended to aid in capturing the deceased.
He, however, explained that the deceased was later invited to the uncompleted building and was, in fact, killed.
In an account of the Kasoa ritual murder, the initial defendant has revealed the events that led to the tragic demise of a 13-year-old boy. The incident, which shocked the nation of Ghana, took place in the town of Kasoa in the Central Region.
According to the defendants testimony, the motive behind the murder was driven by a desire for wealth and success. The defendant, along with his accomplice, believed that by sacrificing a human being, they would be able to obtain a significant amount of money.
The defendant explained that they had been influenced by a spiritualist who convinced them that human sacrifice was the key to acquiring riches. Blinded by their desperation for a better life, they decided to carry out the horrific act.
