BABY-THIEF LYNCHED AT BEREKUM-ABISAASE.
An unidentified young man in his twenties has been lynched for allegedly stealing a one and half-year-old baby at Abisase in the BerekumWest District of the Bono Region.
The body of the deceased at the time of this post was lying decomposed at the incidence scene at Abisase although the Police and Environmental Health Officers had been called to intervene.
According to an eyewitness, the young man entered a room around 2:30 am on Tuesday 22nd June, 2021 and managed to make away with the baby. Fortunately, the father of the baby saw him and with the help of the community, chased him for the baby. The thief over fear of being caught threw the baby away but was still pursued and lynched.
Speaking to alrich24newsghblogspot.com, the Assembly Member for Abisase-Tiwbaabi Electoral Area, Hon. Atta Jacobs said, the unit committee members in the town did their best to rescue the young man from being lynched but were not successful to protect him due to the police inability to respond to the distress calls to avoid the instance justice but the mob lynched the boy.
The Berekum Police command has since retrieved and deposited the body at the Holy Family Hospital mortuary waiting for autopsy.
The Police is preparing to conduct investigations to trace the perpetrators of the crime.
